This is an English translation of Veit Dietrich’s Summaria Christlicher Lehr für das Junge Volck. It was first published in German in 1546. An explanation of the work found on the University of Vienna’s website states, “Until the 19th century, this book served as a devotional resource in many communities. Its advantages are simplicity and didacticism.” Dietrich wrote a devotional and instructional commentary on each of the Gospels of the Historic Lectionary, each followed with a short prayer. This book is historically significant because it is mentioned in other Reformation era agendas, and because the prayers were popular in Scandinavian churches.
