Melanchthons Briefwechsel / Band 6: Regesten 5708-6690 (1550–1552)

This volume deals with everyday life at the university and in the family as well as with scholarly publications and the marriage of the two children who were still alive. The consultations concerning the Council of Trent made it necessary for Melanchthon to return to high politics. The war in neighboring Magdeburg and Lower Saxony, which had never stopped, caught up with Melanchthon in Nuremberg und prevented him from continuing his journey to Trent. There were also theological issues to be clarified, in particular the problems of justification and Christology which Andreas Osiander and Francesco Stancaro had addressed.
