      Philipp Ulhart d.é.], [Augsburg 1525 - Monasticism and the nature of religious orders was a key early topic of debate during the first decade of the Reformation, and this "pretty dialogue" was one in the body of literature on the topic. There were three editions, all printed in 1525 (one each at Strassburg, Augsburg, and WÅrzburg). This edition has a handsome, single-unit woodcut title-border incorporating pillars, stags, vines, and cherubs. The text is in fraktur, of course. Rare: WorldCat locates only one copy of any edition in the U.S. (at Emory - this edition), while VD16 locates three German copies each for the Augsburg and WÅrzburg editions and only a microform of the Strassburg printing. Small 4to (19 cm; 7.5"). 6 pp. Kuczynsk 579; VD16 S3433. Removed from a nonce volume. One small area of discoloration on title-page. Very good condition.
