Description

Luther,M.

About sales and usury. Mart. Luther. 1525 [Strasbourg, Martin Köpfel, 1524]. Cl.-4°. 34 unnum. (quire numbering: A-G4, H6). With title border cut from a stick. Half leather binding of the 19th century. VD16 L-7279. Benzing, Luther 1942. Expanded new edition of the "Sermon vom Wucher" from 1519, one of four prints from the same year. This is probably the most important national economic text of the Reformation; in it Luther sets out his conservative attitude towards interest, usury and sureties. Luther did not reject trade in general, but he did not believe that money should multiply itself. The anonymous woodcut shows God the Father with the dove of the Holy Spirit at the head, with statues of St. Paul and the figure of the usurer on pedestals to the side. A few underlinings and marginalia in a contemporary hand. Detached from an anthology. Two leaves with old repairs in white margins. Somewhat unfresh throughout.
