Knepper, Wimpheling XIII. Ritter No. 2481. Benzing-Muller II, 18, No. 55. Schmidt, Prüss No. 63. VD 16 W-3330. Only edition, dedicated to Philipp of Daun, dean of the cathedral church at Strassburg. The message itself is in neolatin verse. Wimpheling (Schlettstadt 1450-1528) had got into trouble with the Augustinians, as he claimed that S. Augustine had not been a monk and that to lead a good Christian life it was not necessary to be a monk at all. A complaint was lodged with the Roman Curia and Wimpheling was summoned to appear in Rome. In the present poem he tries to justify himself. On account of his poverty and weak health he experienced no further trouble.
