Summary[edit]

Description
English: Autograph letter of Martin Luther in the letter collection Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Ottob. Lat. 3029, fol. 4r.
Deutsch: Brief Martin Luthers an Kurfürst Johann betr. Herzog Georg, Juli 1531; mit dem "Frieden und Vertrag / newlich zu Grim" ist der "Grimmaische Machtspruch" vom 17. Juli 1531 gemeint, eine Vereinbarung zwischen Kurfürst Johann und Herzog Georg, siehe Sächsische Münztrennung.
Gnad und Fried. Durchleuchtigster hochgeborner Fürst / gnedigster Herr / Es hat mein lieber Herr und Freund / Doctor Brück / Cantzler in E[uer] K[ur]F[ürstlichen] G[naden] namen an mir gesonnen / das ich mich hinfurt des scharffen Schreibens / sonderlich / was Hertzog Georgen betreffen möcht / enthalten wolt / so fern es je müglich sein wolt / meines Gewissens und der Lere halben / damit der Friede und vertrag / newlich zu Grim / durch Gottes gnaden bescheret / nicht zurrüttet oder verhindert werde. Nu ists wol war / das Hertzog George merckliche Knoten und Klumpen bey mir am Rocken hat.
Aber auff das sie sehen / das ich auch lust zu Frieden habe / und meine böse Bücher nicht aus Fürwitz pflege zu schreiben / So wil ich solchs alles faren lassen / und geschenckt haben / so fern Hertzog George auch hinfurt mich zu frieden lasse / und keine newe Unlust anrichte / Auch mit dem vorbehalt / wo andere Papisten mit mir nicht frieden halten wolten / das ich frey sein müge dieselbigen zu rüren / Denn damit wil ich Hertzog Georgen nicht meinen / allein das er mirs nicht dahin deute. Solchs wil ich E.K.F.G. unterthenigs Diensts zugesagt haben. Hiemit Gott befohlen / Amen. Sonnabends nach S. Jacobi.
Anno M.D.XXXI.

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
