Conradi Peutingeri, Sermones Convivales De Mirandis Germaniae Antiquitatibus is a collection of essays and letters by the renowned German humanist Konrad Peutinger (1465-1547). This volume, edited by Georg Wilhelm Zapf, offers a fascinating glimpse into Peutinger's thoughts on the antiquities of Germany and the state of the Holy Roman Empire. Included are Peutinger's convivial sermons, exploring the wonders of ancient Germany, a fragment concerning the decline of the empire, and fourteen previously unpublished letters. Peutinger's work reflects the intellectual currents of the Renaissance, blending classical learning with a deep interest in German history and identity. This Latin edition provides valuable insights into the mind of a key figure in the German Renaissance and his perspective on the past and present of his nation.
