Summary

English summary: Intended to comprise five volumes, this edition of the works of the famous reformer, who was also one of the greatest scholars of his time, presents his most important writings in a modern German translation. Elegantly written and highly interesting to read are Melanchthon's texts on school and university, philosophy and medicine, theology and law, history and politics. The texts show Melanchthon in his incessant endeavors to communicate the reformatory doctrine on various levels in Germany as well as in France, England, Italy, and southeastern Europe. His humanist erudition and his personal contacts with scholars in many different countries made him the most important mediator of the reformatory doctrine. German text.
