Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Lather was born at Eisleben, 10th November 1483. Next day, at his baptism, he received the name of Martin, after the saint of tne day. His parents, Hans and Margaret Luther, were poor folk, and hard in the bringing up of their children. Luther remembered the beatings that he had from them as a boy; so that, said he, the severe and harsh life which I led with them was the reason that 1afterwards took refuge in the cloister and became a monk. But they knew the value of an education, and sent him to school when ca little child at Mansfeld. It was a miserable training he got there, harsh and narrow, though religious in its way. At fourteen he was sent on to Magdeburg, 1497, to the school of the Nullbriider, probably the Brethren of the Common Life; but he was there no more than a year. In 1498 he was removed to Eisenach. Here it was that the poor scholar, with the fine alto voice, who sang for his maintenance from door to door, attracted the notice of a lady, Ursula Cotta. It was his first introduction to a social grade above his own.
