Epistola de Lipsica disputatione
Summary: A report on the Leipzig Disputation of 1519, ostensibly between Karlstadt and Johann Eck, but with the active participation of Luther both in preparation and in delivery. It was at this formal disputation that Eck was successful in pushing Luther to admit that not only popes, but councils, as well, had erred. This was an important point in Eck's favor, since Luther had, up to this point, appealed from the authority of the Pope to that of an ecumenical council. Melanchthon wrote this report in the form of a letter to his school friend, later Reformer in Basel, Johann Oecolampadius.Imprint: from VD 16.Additional Details: At head of text, "Johanni oecolampadio theologo Philippus Melanchthon Salutem in Christo."
