Beschreibung:
Liber Vagatorum is a book from the 16th century that was published in different places, different languages and large editions across Europe in the Reformation period and which could hardly be more contemporary. It warns of beggars and their "tricks", of the secret language of beggars and vagabonds, Cant; it warns of "false" artists and pets that hold out their hands in front of city gates and church doors. A version of Liber Vagatorum was even published by Luther himself. The book marks a turning point from the concepts of poverty and caritas of the medieval world to the work ethic of Protestantism. It introduces the difference between legitimate and illegitimate poverty.
