Johannes Reuchlin: Sämtliche Werke. Kritische Ausgabe mit Kommentar / Band IV,1: Schriften zum Bücherstreit. 1. Teil

This volume contains the first scholary edition of the writings on the Jewish book controversy: ›Tütsch Missive‹ (1505), ›Augenspiegel‹ (1511), ›Ain Clare verstentnus‹ (1512) and the comprehensive ›Defensio‹ (1513), which Reuchlin addressed to Emperor Maximilian in order to justify his position against the defamation of his adversaries. The Latin texts have been translated into Modern High German, and the Early Modern High German texts are in the original wording. In anticipation of the commentary, the references to quotations in the texts have been verified and given as footnotes. The reproduction of the texts is based on the editio princeps.
