The author, in reality, was never known. It is considered probable that this book had a paramount effect in bringing about, and in compassing the success of, the Reformation.\nDisputatio Nova contra Mulieres; qua Probatur eas Homines non esse. Anno MDXCV. Theses de Mulieribus quod Homines non sint. Cum in Samaria, ut in campo omnis licenti\u00e6, liberum sit credere et do cere, Jesum Christum, Filium Dei Salvatorem et Redeptorem animarum nostrarum, una cum Spiritu Sancto non esse Deum, licebit opinor etiam mihi credere, quod multo minus est, mulieres scilicet non esse Homines--et quod rode sequitur--Christum ergo pro its non esse passum, nec eas salvari. Si enim non solum in hoc regno tolerantur, sed etiam a magnatibus pr\u00e6miis afficiuntur, qui blasphemant Creatorem, cur ego exilium aut supplicium timere debeo, qui simpliciter convicior creaturam? pr\u00e6sertim cum eo modo ex Sacris literis probare possim, mulierem non esse hominem, quo illi probant Christum non esse Deum.\nAdmonitio Theologic\u00e6 Facultatis in Academia Witebergensi, ad scholasticam juventutem, de libello famoso\net blasphemo recens sparso, cujus titulus est: Disputatio Nova contra Mulieres, qua ostenditur, cas hommes non esse.

This is only surmise. The authorship of the book is unknown. It was rigorously suppressed.","title":"The Rosicrucians: Part II: Chapter XVI. Notices of Ancient Authorities","type":"page"}
