| Research Abstract |
Fundamental investigations into the structure of Martin Luther's thinking from the viewpoint of its making. Continuing my studies of the earliest documents (1509-11) with their complete edition (AWA 9, 2009) the existing next-early documents (the 1st Lectures on the Psalms, 1513-16 including additions) have been codicologically and philologically analysed as to handwriting, inks, paper quality, watermarks etc., in order to single out the periods of the manuscript more precisely. The results are partly published in a German book on the Milestones of the Reformation. The heumeneutical principle "Scriptura sui ipsius interpres" put forth in 1520 against the Papal hegemony has been traced back to the early documents with a new insight into its core meaning (an article in a forthcoming volume of essays in Germany). The continuity of his thinking could also be shown in the first edition of the annotations zu Melanchthon's commentaries on Paul (ca. 1536), forthcoming in Lutherjahrbuch 2014.
