Literature

English authorities draw up a list of heretical books at London and burn copies of the 1526 Tyndale Bible (see 1536; Coverdale, 1535).

Poetry: Das Schlaraffenland by Nuremberg cobbler-poet-dramatist Hans Sachs, 36, whose humorous anecdotes told in doggerel verse are called Schwänke. Their satirical good humor does not obscure their moralizing.
