| dc.description | This is a facsimile and transcription of Das Elltern die Kinder zur Ehe nicht zwingen noch hyndern: Vnd die kinder on der elltern willen sich nicht verloben sollen. Luther, Martin, 1483-1546. [Wittenberg] : [Cranach u. Döring], [1524]. It is held by the Taylor Institution Library (shelf mark: ARCH.8o.G.1524(7)). The transcription was encoded in TEI P5 XML by Jens Müller. The letter (Sendbrief) Das Elltern die kinder zur Ehe nicht zwingen noch hyndern from 1524 is one of many popular writings of Luther that deal with the topic of marriage. It was first published by Lucas Cranach the Elder and became very popular. It has been reprinted ten times, translated into Latin and was also reprinted in Luther’s complete collection. The title page is a detailed woodcut that features the Luther rose, a symbol that was successfully introduced by Cranach and Döring to verify the authenticity of their Luther prints since 1524. Das Elltern die kinder zur Ehe nicht zwingen noch hyndern is addressed to the Imperial Knight (Reichsritter) Hans Schott von Schottenburg . Schott had married Anna von Auerbach, who had left her former adulterous husband Jakob Hufener. The case gained public attention and even Luther voiced his concerns about this marriage in 1526 , before it got annulled by elector (Kurfürst) Johann von Sachsen in 1528. Luther’s letter discusses the problem of secret engagements. He criticizes engagements without the agreement of the parents as well as parents that force their children to marry a person that they don’t love. Luther appeals to the parents, resp. the fathers, that they act according to the right measure and avoid to act as tyrants (and thus against God). Parents should aim to help their children to a good marriage and neither force them to get married nor prevent the children from being married at all, since according to Luther humans are made for marriage. In case of a forced marriage the child is not obliged to obey and should be protected by the secular authorities. Created by encoding transcription from printed text. Diplomatic edition Multiple spaces used for justification of the printed text have been redued to single spaces in the transcription If possible, the missing text from damaged pages has been reconstructed Cases that are not clear have been put into brackets "etc." is abreviated by "%" |
