Image Title: Portrait of Melchior Hoffman

Description: Originally a fur trader from Schwäbische Hall, Germany, Melchior Hoffman (c. 1495-1543) became a traveling Anabaptist reformer and preacher. As the portrait frame indicates, Hoffman spent the most time in Strasbourg, the city he prophesied would become the New Jerusalem. The caption reads "Pellibus a teneris suetus doctissime, Nostri / Hofmanni teneras excoriare Greges".
