16. Dy erst proposition dy martin mit ecken dyspudirt hat.
The first proposition maintained by Luther against Eck at Leipzig in
July, 1519, was, That, not the Pope but Christ, is the head of the Church.
It is clear then that, at this time, Dtirer was a thoughtful
student of Luther’s writings. Melanchthon, in the following
passage, tells us that he was specially impressed by their
‘ lucidity.’
“ Albrecht Dtirer, painter of Niirnberg, a shrewd man, once said
that there was this difference between the writings of Luther and those
of other theologians. After reading three or four paragraphs of the first
page of one of Luther’s works he could grasp the problem to be worked
out in the whole. This clearness and order of arrangement was, he
observed, the glory of Luther’s writings. He used, on the contrary, to
say of other writers that, after reading a whole book through, he had to
consider attentively what idea it was that the author intended to
convey.”
Dtirer unfortunately never beheld Luther in the flesh, though
more than once, as we have seen, he had personal relations with
him. A long and important passage in the artist’s Nether-
LUTHER’S WRITINGS.
