1516. “Sermons on the Ten Commandments and the Lord’s Prayer.”
1517. “Commentary on the Seven Penitential Psalms.”
The title-page of this volume reads: _F. Martinus Luder Augustiner
zŭ Wittenberg_. (The Seven Penitential Psalms was one of the two
devotional publications of Colard Mansion, the first printer of
Bruges, whose edition was issued in 1471.)
1517. “A Sermon on Indulgences and Grace.”
The immediate incentive to this sermon was the sale of Indulgences
by Tetzel.
1518. “Conclusions.” The title given to the famous ninety-five
theses.
1518. “Lectures on the Epistle to the Galatians.”
1520. “Address to the Christian Nobility of Germany.”
The title-page bears no date and no imprint. Below the name of the
author appears simply “Zu Wittenberg.”
1520. A treatise entitled “Why the Books of the Pope and his
Disciples were burnt by Dr. Martin Luther.”
This was published shortly after the burning by Martin Luther, in
Wittenberg, of the papal decretals, the name given by Köstlin to
the papal law-books, and a collection of the writings of Eck and
other papal advocates.

pamphlets in reply to Emser.

1522 (December). A second edition of 5000 copies.
1527. Various treatises in reply to the teachings of Zwingli and
Œcolampadius.
The four years following 1522 appear to have been chiefly devoted,
as far as literary production was concerned, to the revision of
“The New Testament” and to work on the version of the books of “The
Old Testament.”

Supper,” “Anabaptism,” the war against the Turks, a commentary on
the first twenty-five Psalms, and a version of thirteen of the
“Fables of Æsop.”

1531. Gloss on the supposed “Edict” of the Emperor, and a “Warning
to his Beloved Germans.”

This was issued at Wittenberg, anonymously, but, according to
Köstlin, was unquestionably the work of Luther.
