Summary: Since the city of Augsburg was fairly evenly divided between Catholic and Protestant in the early 1520s, several Anabaptists hoped that their movement might benefit from this stalemate. Eitelhans Langenmantel attacks both Catholics and Lutherans, whom he called neo-Papists. His critique in this pamphlet focuses on the eucharist, which Langenmantel views in Zwinglian terms as a symbolic commemoration of the Last Supper. Like many other Anabaptists in Augsburg, Langenmantel was arrested and executed in 1527.Signatures: A⁴ (A4 blank).Imprint: from VD16.Additional Details: This copy inscribed on t.p. by two 16th century hands, including a completion of the author's initials E.H.L. and a curse against both Catholic priests and Zwinglians, as well as a somewhat unusual version of the Lord's Prayer.
