As an aside, I do enjoy how Luther's biography outside Lutheranism was basically shaped by this one salty dude's polemics. Nigga ripped out of context quotes from all of Luther's biggest works, sometimes completely rewording them in the process of translating them to Latin, and put them into pamphlets, and later wrote a sizeable biography of Luther that reused much of that material. It's pretty funny when you learn that most of the later Catholic screeds against Luther dealt little with Luther's actual works, but rather were just pulling from what this guy said Luther had written. Like, trace the most salacious charges about Luther in pop culture and history, and learn that a disproportionate number originate from this guy.
