A new translation of an important document of the German Reformation, a collection of pamphlets by the former Franciscan Johann Eberlin von Günzburg.
The Fifteen Confederates' was published anonymously in the fall of 1521, shortly after Martin Luther's hearing at the Diet of Worms and subsequent disappearance. The fifteen pamphlets that make up the book address religious, social, economic, and political challenges facing the German people. Their author, Johann Eberlin von Günzburg, subsequently became one of the most prolific and popular pamphleteers of the German Reformation. As an important contribution to the pamphlet war that accompanied the beginnings of the Reformation in Germany, 'The Fifteen Confederates' provides us a valuable window on the aspirations and dreams that accompanied Luther's initial calls for reform of the church and society.

Reading Geoffrey Dipple's lively translation of pamphlets ... one senses the development of the Reformers' thinking - from reform from within, towards root and branch reform that would be founded on Biblical preaching and the vernacular Bible ... one is taken into the middle of the debates in the early years of the Reformation in a way that captures the imagination.
— Richard Cleaves
As the author of an important monograph on Eberlin, Dipple is well qualified to rectify that deficiency by offering a translation and introduction which reflect the most recent scholarship. ...a fine edition, which will be of great use to students of the Reformation who do not have German.
