Martin Luther als Publizist

To reveal the essential Luther, Thomas Kaufmann's latest volume traces how the Protestant reformer used his affinity with books and aptitude as a man of words to develop the publishing strategies that became visible from 1517/18 onwards. Above all, the author shows that Luther developed an immense sensibility towards possible reading interests that he put to most effective use in the organisation of the Wittenberg printing press, which was to become the most powerful in Europe.
