This is a centennial edition of the "Novae Epistolae Obscurorum Virorum," a collection of satirical letters that offer a sharp commentary on the intellectual and political landscape of the Renaissance. This edition, published in 1874, is annotated for the first time, providing valuable context to the numerous historical and cultural references within. The letters themselves lampoon the obscurantism of certain scholastic theologians and monks, engaging with figures and concepts such as Heinrich von Gagern, Karl Vogt, and broader themes of democracy and intellectual freedom. Readers will find this edition an illuminating resource for understanding the controversies and intellectual ferment of its time. It remains relevant today, offering insights into the enduring struggles between reason and dogma.
