In the early 1500s, Martin Luther presented lectures on biblical books, including one of his favorites, Galatians. George Rörer, Veit Dietrich, and Caspar Cruciger attended the lectures and took copious notes. This published text, first printed in Latin in 1534, is based on those notes, except for the exposition of Galatians 5:6, which is taken from one of Luther’s manuscripts. As the Protestant Reformation grew, Luther’s works were later translated into English for the general public in England. This copy of A Commentarie of M. Doctor Martin Luther upon the Epistle of S. Paule to the Galathians was printed in London in 1580 and contains a facsimile title page.
