Books from the Protestant Reformation

In Ernstliche erbietung der Euangelische[n] Prediger an den gaystlichen Stand die yetzigen leer betreffend the reformer Rhegius seeks to demonstrate the "signs" by which the true new evangelical teachings may be discerned in six “points”. The fine woodcut title border is after Lucas Cranach.

Writing under the pseudonym of Simon Hessus, Rhegius writes a caustic satire against the “old” religion in Argument disses biechleins.
