A man of words made out of words. This printed carmen figuratum, in German Figurengedicht, shows Martin Luther as a figure made out of words. And the words form the three creeds used in the Lutheran tradition: the Nicene Creed, the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed. #earlymodern #bookhistory
