Summary: When Luther received S. Mazzolini's Dialogue on the 95 Theses, he put it into print at once to show just how weak a piece Mazzolini had written. He followed it up with the present work which includes Mazzolini's text and Luther's reply to it. Even the Pope is said to have been embarrassed by Mazzolini's poor performance in this work. The Dominicans are reported to have bought up the first edition, presumably to prevent its further circulation.
