The third and fourth parts of the work – initially planned for five parts – were not published; the fifth was printed in 1533. The author was a Catholic theologian, one of Luther's best-prepared debate partners. At the beginning of the century, he was the standard-bearer of the internal reformation of the church and a supporter of modern theology. In the so-called Leipzig Debate of 1519, he stated that Luther and his followers did not want to reform the church but to break with it. This work is a collection of his disputations against Luther.
Restored, contemporary leather. Leaves stained.
