Fourth edition of a pamphlet first published the same year in Nuremberg, refashioning the medieval prophecies attributed to Joachim of Fiore (see lot 79) into a Protestant antipapal polemic. The Nuremberg censor suppressed the original edition out of concern over its potential effect on relations with the city's Catholic neighbors and with Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.
