(66) pp. Adams H-1184 (1 copy?); OCLC WorldCat (2 or 3 copies); Karlsruher Virt. Kat. (4 to 7 copies); VD 16, H-6029 (3 copies); cf. BMC STC German, p. 424 (1598 ed.).One of the first (1594) editions of an outline of the controversies around certain religious views of the Wittenberg professor Samuel Huber. Its four chapters cover his views on predestination, regeneration, justification and ecclesiology respectively. On each of these points Huber's opinions are critically discussed by three other Wittenberg professors, Aegidius Hunnius, Salomon Gesner and Polycarpus Leyser. Huber's interpretation of Lutheran theology and his critism on that of other prominent Lutherans regularly brought him into conflict with others and eventually got him expelled from the Wittenberg academic community. Spies published three editions at Frankfurt in 1594 (VD 16, H-6028 to 6030), and it is not clear which is the first. H-6028 and the present H-6029 are so similar that it is impossible to distinguish them in many catalogues (VD 16 gives the publication date ending "IIII" and the second line of the imprint in lowercase in our H-6029 but "IV" and uppercase in H-6028). Our edition collates A-H4 I2 and has the fingerprint (following VD17 rules): nci- e-ex i-i- ermu. H-6030 apparently collates A-F4 G2 with fingerprint r.s: m;s- dii- tumu. We have seen neither collation nor fingerprint for H-2028.A very good copy, lacking the final blank leaf. Disbound. Outline of controversies between Wittenberg professors on three issues central to Lutheran theology.
