EDITORS COMMENTS
"This title page, hailing from the 16th century, showcases the beginning of a sermon by the revolutionary religious figure, Martin Luther. The text, written in the intricate blackletter script, reads "XXVII. Predig D. Martin Luthers newlich uszgangen Anno XXIII. Durchsichtiget / und in ordnung gestellt der bessten form. Sampt eim Register. Rerumb." which translates to "Sermon XXVII by Dr. Martin Luther, newly published in the year 1523. Carefully reviewed and arranged in the best form. With a register." The title page is bordered by an illustration of Christ preaching to a crowd, created by the renowned artist Hans Weiditz the Younger. This evocative image underscores the central theme of the sermon, emphasizing the importance of faith and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The title page is a testament to the rich heritage of the Northern Renaissance, a period marked by intellectual and artistic flourishing in Germany and other European countries. The intricate black and white design, with its bold lines and meticulous detail, exemplifies the Gothic script that was popular during this era. The title page, an ink on paper creation, is bound between boards covered with paper decorated with ink, and is a rare and valuable addition to any collection of religious or historical art. This artifact, with its profound significance to the history of Christianity and Protestantism, is a must-see for anyone with an interest in the life of Martin Luther or the broader context of the Reformation." This title page, created by an unknown artist and Hans Weiditz the Younger, is currently housed in the Walters Art Museum in the United States. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the religious and artistic landscape of the 16th century.
