Tomus primus disputationum theologicarum, in academia Wittebergensi ab anno 1600 usq[ue] ad 1606 publice habitarum ... Cum triplice indice.
A collection of twenty-eight disputations held at the University of Wittenberg by Lutheran theologians and their students between 1600 and 1611. The disputations cover much ground, including the Eucharist, Church councils, canonical scripture, predestination, original sin, Christ’s ascension, the antichrist, heretics, the Trinity, baptism, the Church Militant, sin and blasphemy. Among those named as ‘praeses’ are several staunch Wittenberg Lutherans such as Leonhard Hutter, Salomon Gesner, Aegidius Hunnius, David Runge, Georg Mylius, Friedrich Balduin, and Wolfgang Franz, while the respondents include Matthias Hoë, Hermann Samson, Balthasar Meisner, Aegidius Strauch (three times a respondent), Nicolaus Hunnius, and Johann Behm. Both volumes are equipped with substantial indexes.
This sammelband comprises the first volume of Kaspar Heyden’s 1625 edition and the second from Christian Thamm’s earlier edition of 1623. Both these editions included a third volume, collecting disputations held between 1611 and 1615, which is not present here.
VD17 1:053400H and VD17 39:159714Q. No copies of the first volume are noted on Library Hub; one copy of the Tomus secundus is recorded at the National Library of Scotland.
