Handsome 'Sammelband' of seven rare works of which six are printed by the first printer of Wolfenbüttel, Henning Rüdem, in his first period of printing (1540-42) in that city. In 1543 he went to Hildesheim and later Hannover before returning to Wolfenbüttel (1550 - until circa 1553). Printed at Wolfenbüttel by H. Rüdem (six) and one other printer the works deal with the religious disputes between the Catholic prince Heinrich, the Younger of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel (Luthers "Hans Worst") with Duke Ernst von Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the city of Braunschweig. The onset of the Reformation in autumn 1528 caused Duke Ernst of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the city of Braunschweig to be at variance with his sovereign, Duke Henry the Younger of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel (Luthers "Hans Worst"), From 1493 up to then the city had managed to resist numerous sieges either with the help of the Hanseatic League or by paying large sums of money. Later Duke Henry would lay siege to Braunschweig in 1550 and 1553.
