Catechismvs minor puerorum, generoso puero Ottoni Fürster
Summary: Rhegius was a Reformer, active throughout Germany promoting Lutheran unity in the Holy Roman Empire. In 1530 at the Diet of Augsburg he was befriended by Ernest I, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, under whose patronage he returned to Brunswick where he wrote the present work for Ernest's son, Francis Otto (1530-1559). Like many 16th c. catechisms, Rhegius' is in the form of a dialogue, in this instance between the teacher and the pupil (paedagogus et discipulus).
Signatures: A-O⁸ (O8 verso blank).
Illustrative and Decorative Content: Title within architectural woodcut border with the Saxon crest at the bottom between a lion and a griffin.
