Ein Sendbrief vom Dolmetschen - An Open Letter on Translating

Set against the backdrop of the Reformation, Martin Luther's Open Letter on Translation was penned in September 1530 while he sought refuge in Coburg. This pivotal work defends his Bible translation during a critical moment when his peers were advocating Protestantism at the Imperial Diet in Augsburg. The letter has since gained significance as a foundational text in German literature, translation studies, and Reformation theology, highlighting Luther's influence on religious and linguistic transformation.
