A new critical edition of Henry VIII's 1526 public letter to Martin
Luther, enabling readers to examine how Henry VIII wanted his
subjects to regard the German heresiarch. A modern critical edition
of Henry VIII's second published work against Martin Luther. This
open letter to Luther, printed at the king's command in December
1526, was in reply to a private letter addressed to him by Luther
the previous year. Its particular interest lies in the fact that,
unlike his better known Assertion of the Seven Sacraments,
published five years before, Henry's open letter was released not
only in Latin but also in an official Englishtranslation, with a
special English preface added by the king for the edification of
his subjects. This edition thus enables modern readers to hear what
Henry had to say about Luther in his own words, and how he wanted
his subjects to regard the German heresiarch. This critical edition
is based on a previously unrecognised presentation manuscript which
furnishes the earliest surviving text of both letters. In addition,
it offers editions and newtranslations of a range of related texts,
including Luther's reply to Henry and further contributions to the
burgeoning controversy from several of the most prominent Catholic
opponents of Luther in Europe. For Henry's letter, like his earlier
book, became for a while a European sensation, reprinted in towns
and cities from Cologne to Cracow. This fully annotated edition
includes a substantial introduction which for the first time tells
the full history of Henry's second controversy with Luther, and
which sets that story in the broader context of the lengthy and
fractious relationship between the two men from the time of
Luther's emergence in 1517 until his death in 1546.
