What it is
A Bavarian noblewoman challenges the University of Ingolstadt to debate her in German or Latin after it forced a student to recant, citing scripture throughout.
Why it lasted
The first Protestant woman to publish under her own name, whose pamphlets ran through fourteen editions in two months.
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.
