Summary: A polemic in the form of thirteen pairs of woodcuts (with captions) depicting scenes from the life of Christ contrasted with scenes from the life of the Pope. The text for the Latin edition was by P. Melanchthon and J. Schwertfeger, while that for the German edition was by M. Luther. The text consists of quotations from the Gospels and the canon law. The woodcuts (which have been attributed to Lucas Cranach and to Hans Cranach) derive in part from Luther's "An den christlichen Adel Deutscher Nation" (1521). This collaborative effort between Lukas Cranach and Luther is among the more famous pieces of popular propaganda provided during the reformation. Luther wrote the German texts to accompany Cranach's woodcuts. Illustrating the differences between the life and actions of Christ and those of the pope. The Latin text was composed by P. Melanchthon and J. Schwertfeger.
