⁂ First edition of this rare and important account of the Leipzig Debate, one of the earliest public debates of Luther's Ninety-Five Theses. The debate led directly to Luther's excommunication and therefore marked an important moment in the split between Lutheran and Catholic doctrines. We can trace no copy at auction since 1968.
