Annotation
Andreas Osiander (1498–1552), reformer of Nuremberg, was a participant in theological disputes, the author of polemical writings, and an expert at the Nuremberg Council. In the 1520s the Reformation movement became a fact of European history; doctrinal principles and religious constants of separating currents were forming within Protestantism. Chronologically, the Eucharistic controversy was the first impetus for division. Supporters of the Reformation rejected the doctrine of transubstantiation, instead of which they offered alternative approaches and concepts. A. Osiander’s discussion with Ulrich Zwingli, an apologist for the symbolic understanding of the sacrament of the Eucharist, is represented by two letters of 1527, the analysis of which is the subject of this article.<br>
