A Decade of Luther Study1

Extract

Since the last biographies of Luther in English appeared, nearly ten years ago, a vast amount of light has been shed on the subject by the discovery of new documents and by the intensive research of a great army of the learned. A special stimulus was supplied to their zeal by the celebration of the Reformation quadricentenary in 1917; and the fact that America was cut off from Germany for four years out of the last ten, and that the books of her production have only begun to reach us in large numbers, may add another reason, were it necessary, for offering an extensive review of the outstanding work in this field since the end of the year 1910. For the sake of convenience the more detailed studies will be taken up first, in the chronological order of events in Luther's life; the more general collections of works, bibliographies, biographies, and estimates, will follow after.

Freitag thinks the letter from Han to Trebonius.

10 Scheel, op. cit., i (2d ed.), 140, and note on p. 293. The most thorough discussion is in Neubauer, op. cit., pp. 153 ff. (1) He says Luther would not have been guilty of writing the hybrid word “Viropolitanus,” and that it means “Manstedt,” not Mansfeld, but I think it means the city as distinguished from the county of Mansfeld. (2) He thinks there is difficulty in identifying the teacher of whom Luther speaks as fellow-countryman, but this is not convincing. (3) He says that Luther's known teacher, J. Greffenstein (John Ansorg of Gräfenstein, on whom see ibid., pp. 225 ff.), was not at Porta Caeli. (4) He says that Luther was at Bursa of St. George, not at Porta Caeli. But he might have changed.

12 Diis faventibus, “by favor of the gods,” meant the same as the “favor of the saints” at this period.

13 According to Degering's note, loc. cit., this teacher was John Greffenstein.

14 This was a foundation for the support of poor students: a full account of it in Scheel, O., Luther, i (2d ed., 1917)Google Scholar, and Freitag, A. in Historische Zeitschrift, cxix (1919), 247 ff.Google Scholar

14a Text conterinam, might be changed to Catarinam, meaning Braun's sister, but much more likely conterminam, ‘neighbor,’ referring to some lady Luther had known at Eisenach, perhaps to Ursula Cotta.

15 Martinus viropolitanus arbiter tuus onerarius. That viropolitanus means “from the town of Mansfeld” is quite certain, however meaningless the barbarous compound itself may be. The arbiter tuus onerarius was a jocose title given Luther by Braun, with allusion to Cicero, Tusc. v. 120, where Cicero says that in philosophical disputes on virtue and the good, Carneades would act tanquam honorarius arbiter.

16 That this letter is really to Braun is proved by the fact that the same title divinus miles is given to him in Letter 11.
