A G-rated impression from our recent PhD-Lunch: @jebbb.bsky.social presenting his research on #OriginalSin in #16thCentury exegetical debates, which we announced in such graphic detail that #bsky censored us (poor #Eve, but there is no such thing as prelapsarian fig leaves...)

One for the #Reformation experts: I reread #Luther ’s Assertio (1520) with the passage below on #FreeWill (🇬🇧 in the ALT text). Isn’t this a deliberate provocation of #Erasmus, four years before their famous dispute broke out? SecLit seems to be silent about it. Thoughts, hints?
#Earlymodern 🗃️

Luther, Assertio omnium articulorum, Wittenberg 1520, fol. h5r: "Scripture is abundant on the subject [of the bound will], but it has been so ravaged by out Nebuchadnezzar [=the pope] that the very form and knowledge of the letters is gone, and we need some new Esdras who will discover new letters/a new language and recover the Bible for us once more, which I hope is now being done as the Hebrew and Greek languages are flourishing all over the world."

One of my doctoral students came across this French edition and glosses of the Pauline Epistles (Paris, Antoine Verard, 1504; 2nd ed 1507). The translator is "un docteur en theologie de l'ordre de saint Augustin" – any idea who this might be? #earlymodern #exegesis gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b...
