Emory Discovers Document With Martin Luther’s Handwriting

An example of Martin Luther’s handwriting was unexpectedly found at Pitts Library at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology. The handwriting on the pamphlet is thought to be quite rare.

The library has more than 1,000 documents attributed to the German theologian in its collection. Until now, researchers thought the entire collection contained just one example of Luther’s handwriting.

Richard Adams, the library’s interim director, said the newly discovered work was part of a printed bibliography.
