Recent work on the edition of Heinrich Bullinger’s correspondence from the year 1546 has unearthed an interesting letter by Ambrosius Blarer, the reformer of Constance. In a list of publications connected with the raging Schmalkaldic War, he mentions the pamphlet “Ein gesprech des Teütschen Lands und der hoffnung diese gegenwertige Kriegsleüff betreffend […]”, attributing it to the Italian reformer Bernardino Ochino. This article corroborates Ochino’s hitherto unknown authorship, as well as providing an edition of the pamphlet with a commentary and analysis.
