Abstract

Having commented on the non-literalness of Luther's translation of this passage, he extols the rendering as truly idiomatic and quotes, in support of the rightness of such a translation, one that is a reproduction and re-creation in German of the foreign and often alien original, the celebrated lines from the Sendbrief vom Dolmetschen (1530) in which Luther defends his "free" translation of the passage in question.
