About This Item
Wittenberg: Wittenberg: Georg Rhau, 1531, 1531. This edition is an impression of the "editio princeps" printed in the same year. Octavo; 5.25 x 3.5. inches ¶ a-d8, e4,9e4 blank and present) f-n8, A-P8, Q4, Q4 blank and present. This is bound in full modern calf over wooden boards in an antique style, it is a very nice copy with annotations on every page. The Augsburg Confession is "the oldest and most authoritative of the Lutheran creeds," and a major historical document, in which the revolution of Martin Luther assumed organized political action and permanently changed the religious and national identity of Europe. "It was drafted by Melanchthon, on the basis of Luther's Marburg, Schwabach, and Torgau articles, and bore the signature of seven German princes....On 25 June, 1530, copies of it, in Latin and German, were presented to Charles V, at the diet of Augsburg, and the German version of it was read aloud before the secular and ecclesiastical Estates of the Empire. Charles retained his Latin copy which he brought with him to Spain, giving the other into the custody of the Archbishop of Mainz.".
