Sale Room Notice

Please note that the identifying inscription over the parapet (legible under IRR) which mis-identifies Erasmus, refers to Johann von Eck (d. 1524), who was an opponent of Luther at the Diet of Worms, and not Johann Maier von Eck (1486-1543), a catholic scholar and theological opponent of Erasmus, as stated in the catalogue entry.
