First edition of this German translation of
Oecolampadius’ commentary on the Book of Malachi,
the last book of the Neviim (prophets) section
in the Jewish Tanakh. In the Christian Old Testament,
the Prophetic Books are placed last, making
Book of Malachi the last Old Testament book
before the New Testament. The translator was the
eminent Swiss humanist Ludwig Haetzer (1500–
1529). – «At Zwingli’s request he was present in
Basel participating in the call of Conrad Pellikan to
the Zürich pulpit … In the middle of February 1526
he was back in Zürich to supervise the publication
of another writing by Oecolampadius on the Lord’s
Supper. At the time of the disputation of Baden he
was living in Basel. … Meanwhile he was engaged
in the translation of writings by Oecolampadius. At
the end of July 1526, appeared in the printing house
of Thomas Wolfe in Basel the booklet Der Prophet
Maleachi mit Auslegung Johannis Oecolampadii,
durch ihn im Latein geschrieben, mit Fleiss verdeutscht
durch L. H. The foreword of 18 July 1526
shows a transition in Haetzer’s thinking. Scripture
and spirit become the principal theme. Biblicistic
tones are still noticeable, but at the same time there
is a spiritualistic tendency, which is revealed even
in his concept of the sacrament. … He was an industrious
translator and author, who was known
personally by many important contemporaries;
and as the first demonstrable anti-trinitarian of
the German language in the Reformation time»
