What it is
A detailed commentary on the eucharistic prayer combining nominalist theology with the devotional temper of the Common Life.
Why it lasted
The textbook Luther studied and later attacked by name; much of what he rejected as scholasticism he had learned from this book.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
