Unterricht der Visitatorn an die Pfarhern in Hertzog Heinrichs zu Sachsen Fürstenthum

Summary: Melanchthon first wrote the Instructions for Church Visitations in 1527 in both German and Latin. He was himself one of the first visitors to put the work to use. As a result some changes were made to the manuscript, and the whole was sent to Luther for the purpose of securing a preface.
