Summary: The tribulation of monks-turned Protestant, and then turned out of their monasteries, made fascinating reading for the newly-converted Protestants. In style, it is analogous to martyrologies, such as Foxe's "Book of Martyrs." G. Korn here relates his sufferings on account of the Gospel as one such monk in Nuremberg.
Signatures: A4, [A] unsigned.
Illustrative and Decorative Content: Title within engraved woodcut border, initial. Title page border is attributed to the engraver Hans Baldung Grien.
Imprint: Dated at end (p. [8]): "Geben am zuelfften Junij, in unser ellende[n] herberg. Anno M.D. xxij." There are two dates on the title page in manuscript, both "1522."
