Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Continental Reformation 1. Luther was born at Eisleben, 10th November 1483. Next day, at his baptism, he received the name of Martin, after the saint of the day. His parents, Hans and Margaret Luther, were poor folk, and hard in the bringing up of their children. Luther remembered the beatings that he had from them as a boy; ´so that,´ said he, ´the severe and harsh life which I led with them was the reason that I afterwards took refuge in the cloister and became a monk.´ But they knew the value of an education, and sent him to school when ´a little child´ at Mansfeld. It was a miserable training he got there, harsh and narrow, though religious in its way. At fourteen he was sent on to Magdeburg, 1497, to the school of the ´Nullbrüder,´ probably the Brethren of the Common Life; but he was there no more than a year. In 1498 he was removed to Eisenach. Here it was that the poor scholar, with the fine alto voice, who sang for his maintenance from door to door, attracted the notice of a lady, Ursula Cotta. It was his first introduction to a social grade above his own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
