Martin Luther (1483–1546) was a German scholar, priest, theologian, and religious reformer and is considered one of the chief figures in European history. Arguing that money couldn’t buy freedom from God’s punishment for one’s sins, he laid the foundation for
Protestant Reformation and greatly influenced the fields of politics, religion,
education, and economics through his work and writings.
Joannes Aurifaber (1519–1575), born Johann Goldschmidt in Weimar, was a Lutheran theologian. He studied at Wittenberg, where he heard the lectures of Martin Luther. Besides having a hand in the first collected edition of Luther’s works, Aurifaber published Luther’s Letters and Table Talk, the work for which he is best known.
William Hazlitt (1811–1893) was an English lawyer and author. Besides legal works and his Classical Gazetteer, for which he is perhaps best known, he produced many translations, among them Victor Hugo’s Notre-Dame de Paris, Jules Michelet’s History of the Roman Republic, and the works of Michel de Montaigne. He also oversaw the posthumous publication and republication of many of the works of his father, the celebrated critic and essayist William Hazlitt.
