Lot Essay

Provenance: Nordkirchen Library. In 15 parts, excluding the foreword and afterword and 8 letters, this work is connected with the murder of Hutten's cousins, related to him through the Duke of Würtemberg. The most significant part is the 'Phalarismus': the first use of the dialogue form by Hutten and its first introduction into German humanistic literature. It was written in Bologna in 1516/17.
