On the 500th anniversary of their first publication, the four hilarious, successful, and witty Reformation Dialogues by Hans Sachs will be reissued in a new edition. This will include new English translations, a historical introduction, linguistic footnotes, and the first-ever modern edition of the 15th century Dutch and English translations of the first dialogue. We are looking for readers willing to do a live recording of parts of the first dialogue in early modern German, early modern Dutch, and in early modern English for the launch event! Contact Henrike Lähnemann to volunteer.

Launch: Friday, 1 November, 5-6:30pm, Taylor Institution Library (St Giles, Oxford), Room 2

The new edition will be volume 7 of the ‘Reformation Pamphlets’ series of the ‘Taylor Editions’, edited by Philip Flacke, Henrike Lähnemann, and Thomas Wood, and with contributions by a number of undergraduate and graduate students and will be open access available. Every reader at the launch will receive a complimentary paper copy.
