Description

(Luther, Martin?)

A question of the whole holy order of the card players of the Karnöffel / to the Concilium of Mantua. 1537 [Wittenberg, Nickel Schirlentz, 1537]. Cl.-4°. 4 unnum. (A4 size). Stapled. VD16 F-1971. Benzing, Luther 3257. Apparently an extremely rare printing of the satirical work, possibly written by Luther, intended for the council summoned to Mantua by Pope Paul III in agreement with Emperor V. However, as the German Protestant princes and France showed no interest in the church assembly, it was first published and then finally canceled. The carnival spoon game is one of the oldest card games and is related to the tarot; the carnival spoon is the card that tricks all the others - including the Pope and the Emperor. The text concludes: "Given at Rome / Ala Campana bey dem Campflor / hinder dem Turre denona / zwischen den andern Tabern / inn die Bulle cænæ Domini / hart fur dem Eclipsi des Concilii / durch den deudschen Pasquil / Protheum genant/Anno 1537. indictione nulla. Anno Pontificatus Pauli 4."
