Human freedom, Christian righteousness : Philip Melanchthon's exegetical dispute with Erasmus of Rotterdam
On 7 April 1537 Philip Melanchthon sent a copy of an epigram he had written to his friend and correspondent in Nuremberg, the preacher Veit Dietrich.1 He had originally composed it as an inscription for a copy of the third edition of his Scholia on Colossians, which he had given to Matthew Devay. He thought Dietrich would enjoy it, too. Not only did these fourteen simple lines of Latin poetry summarize Melanchthon's approach to Paul's epistle; they also encapsulate his unique place in the intellectual world of the early sixteenth century.
