Form der Tauff (1559) - The original of the translation of Martynas Mažvydas Formos Chrikštymo (1559)

Summary/Abstract: The article tackles the problem of the original from which Martynas Mažvydas translated his Forma Chrikštymo (1559). Publication Form der Tauff (1559), which was discovered by the author of this article in the State Library of Prussian Cultural Heritage (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin-Preußischer Kulturbesitz, Haus Nr. 1, Unter den Linden: Dr 14728 R) in Berlin, allows one to justify the opinion of Christian stang (1976), who thought that Mažvydas was using this publication for his translation and not the Kirchenordnung written in 1558, as it is most often stated in the historiography of the lithuanian literature. Thus, the analysis of mažvydas' Forma Chrikštymo cannot be based on the comparison to the Kirchenordnung of 1558 any more.
