'Mönchkalb' and 'Ursache und Antwort'

Focusing on pivotal events of the German Reformation in 1523, this volume features two lesser-known pamphlets that highlight the impact of printing. The first, a satirical piece, critiques a bizarre creature born in Saxony, spreading across Europe. The second pamphlet offers a defense of nuns, including Katharina von Bora, as they choose to leave their convents, reflecting significant social and religious shifts of the time. Together, these works illustrate the dynamic interplay between local events and broader reformative movements.
