Hartmund von Cronberg - Eyn sendbrieff an Bapst Adrianum...

"A letter to Pope Adrian VI: therein with a Christian true foundation is shown a certain salvific way to uproot all heresies, and to the healthy salvation of all Christendom from Turkish tyranny." 1523. Very rare reformational pamphlet by the Imperial knight and Luther follower Hartmut von Cronberg, printed in Wittenberg in the year 1523. In this open letter Cronberg directly addresses the then Pope Adrian VI. He openly criticizes the abuses within the Church and shows, from his point of view, a path by which heresies can be overcome through a return to the true Christian faith. At the same time, he discusses the acute threat posed by the Ottoman Empire and urges the Christian powers to stand together in the face of the "Turkish tyranny".

At the beginning with an ex-libris, as well as an old catalog note. Title page and the last leaf also with a small handwritten note. Collation: 5 leaves Dimensions: 20 x 15.5 cm
