D. Andree Carolstatini doctoris et Archidiaconi VVittenburgensis : CCCLXX: et apologetic[a]e co[n]clusio[n]es p[er] sacris literis & Vuittenburgen[si] ita edit[a]e, vt & lectoribus p[er] futur[a]e sint
Summary: After Luther had published the Ninety-five Theses, a broad academic debate spread across Germany on the question of the validity of indulgences. The debate was soon joined by Eck of Ingolstadt, representing the Catholic position. Karlstadt, a senior theologian at Wittenberg seems to have taken the lead in defending his colleague with his work, a series of disputations held at the University of Wittenberg beginning May 14, 1518, and continuing beyond July 7, 1518. Originally, Karlstadt intended that Nicasius Claji defend the whole of the "Three Hundred Seventy Conclusions." Since the printing was delayed, however, several men defended different parts of it as they became available.Signatures: A-E4; A, A2 uns; E4b blank.
