Of the second title there is only 1 copy listed outside a German library (USA New York Public Library). Collection of two famous early Roman Catholic texts which criticise Luther. The first text appeared first in Paris one year earlier as this Köln edition. The second text was published in the same year as the Parisian first edition. Clichtoveus was born in 1472 in Nieuwpoort , a flemish fisher's port and now a seaside resort. He became professor at the Sorbonne university where he supported at first the reformation ideas of Luther. After the ''Determinatio '' of 1521 in which the university condemned Luther's ideas Clichtoveus became one of his fiercest opponents. He was called Luther's maul ( le maillet de Luther)."‎
