With engraved bookplate by Jacob Weinbuech. - In the spring of 1528, Otto von Pack von Sachsen-Meißen reported to Count Philipp of Hesse that Ferdinand I and the Catholic electors and bishops of the German-Roman Empire had concluded an alliance in Boroszló the previous year. According to this, the princes were to support Ferdinand in gaining the Hungarian throne and thus intensify the attack on the German princes who supported the Reformation and force them to hand over Luther and the priests who followed the new direction. In response, Pack also conducted negotiations with Szapolyai in Hungary as Philip's representative. It later became clear to the Protestant princes, who demanded an explanation from the supposed treaty partners, that the news of the alliance was a forgery and the document presented by Pack was a forgery. Packt was eventually sentenced to death in the Netherlands for his fraud. In addition to the correspondence between George and Philip, the publication contains the text of the forged treaty as well as several letters from Catholic ecclesiastical and secular dignitaries mentioned therein, in which the authenticity of the treaty is refuted. - Endpapers renewed, paper slightly browned and minimally stained, last leaf with contemporary hs.
