Wimpfeling, J. *De Integritate Libellus cum epistolis prestantissimorum virorum hunc libellum approbantium & confirmantium*. Strasbourg, Knobloch 1506. 37 leaves. 19th-century half-leather binding. VD 16, 16599. Kenpper, Wimpheling XIII. Second edition. — Wimpheling’s treatise on moral purity, first published in 1505, sparked fierce opposition, particularly from the monks he had criticized. With this second edition, Wimpheling was able to rally the most prominent humanists of the time to his cause through letters of endorsement. The work is prefaced by an acrostic poem by Matthias Ringmann, who, together with Martin Waldseemüller, gave America its name. Among Wimpheling’s supporters were Ulrich Zasius, Heinrich Bebel, Beatus Rhenanus, Matthias Ringmann, and Johannes Aesticampianus. — Rare.
