Two substantial 1578 Wittenberg printings by Christoph Vischer Not represented in North America.

Two substantial 1578 Wittenberg printings by Christoph Vischer—his expansive sermon-commentary on Luther’s Kleiner Katechismus and his Haustaffel on the duties of the estates—here appear together in a contemporary pigskin binding richly stamped with Lutheran motifs of the Annunciation and Baptism. Printed by Hans Lufft, these works reveal how Lutheran doctrine moved from Reformation confessions into the lived rhythms of parish teaching and household discipline.
