[Augsburg]: [Jörg Nadler], 1522. ONE OF FIVE EDITIONS, ALL PRINTED IN 1522. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in quarter vellum and paste-paper over boards.

Two copies (of any edition) traced in North America (Columbia and Luther Seminary.). First edition of Zwingli's second publication, his first major programmatic political document, directed against mercenarism.

In 1513, Zwingli served as military chaplain to the Swiss forces at the battle of Novarra.
