| Published by J. Cromberger. The translation of "Doctrina Cristiana" of Juan Gerson (1544) shows at the beginning a brief message addressing all Christians. For his clarity and solidity, Gerson earned the title of "Doctor Cristianismo" throughout the Christain world. His Tripartite was composed of three main parts: the Ten Commandments, confession and the art of being well prepared for death. This epistle by the author is mainly directed to all Chrístians. The bottom portion explains what the Ten Commandments are about and the purpose they serve. | ||
