Events
prose
- The ironic discourse in praise of the folly by Erasmus of Rotterdam , which is part of the fool's literature , which he wrote in 1509 during a stay with his friend Thomas More in England, appears in print for the first time in Paris and Strasbourg.

Non-fiction
- The Laienspiegel by Ulrich Tengler , one of the most important legal books of modern times, appears in a revised form with six new woodcuts by Hans Schäufelin in Augsburg.
- The publication Warhrachtig Sumarius der gerichts hendel is printed by Johann Hanau in Frankfurt an der Oder in an early New High German and in a Middle Low German version.
- The organist Arnolt Schlick publishes the Spiegel der Organmacher und Organisten in Speyer . In this work, on 59 pages, he deals with aspects of organ construction such as the scale length , pipe material , bellows , windchest and installation location as well as the time and type of tuning of organs, whereby he does not describe the mid-tone tuning usual at that time , but suggests a practice-oriented, unevenly floating tuning, similar to the Werckmeister mood 170 years later.
- Without the consent of the author, the first edition of the historical work De Orbe Novo Decades by Petrus Martyr von Anghiera about the discovery of the “New World” by the Spaniards appears in Seville .
religion
- January: A few months after the death of the preacher Johann Geiler von Kaysersberg , his student Jakob Otter publishes Geiler's sermon cycle for Sebastian Brant's 1497 satire Das Narrenschiff under the title Navicula sive Speculorum Fatuorum .
The Cologne butcher Johannes Pfefferkorn , a Jew who converted to Christianity, wrote the anti-Jewish pamphlet hand mirror against Johannes Reuchlin and his positive opinion on the Talmud . Reuchlin replied in the fall with the typeface Augenspiegel , which was printed in Thomas Anshelm's print shop and then appeared at the Frankfurt Book Fair . The dispute escalated in the next few years despite an imperial silence command, with large parts of the educated elite in Germany and beyond Germany taking sides for one of the two sides, and culminated in the so-called dark man's letters of 1515 .
The Archbishop of Bremen Johann III. Missale secundum ritum ecclesie Bremense ordered by Rode von Wale is completed. This missal, in accordance with the customs of the Bremen Church, describes the rite for Holy Mass that was only valid in the Diocese of Bremen in the Middle Ages . It contains the fixed and changing biblical texts, prayers and chants for church services in Latin and is in use until 1532 .
- The Benedictine Benedictus Chelidonius composed the Great Passion with woodcuts by Albrecht Dürer . The content is about the Passion story of Christ, but it is not told according to the Bible .
- The Benedictine monk Nonnosus Stettfelder wrote the German-language pair of saints about Emperor Heinrich II and Empress Kunigunde, which was then printed in Bamberg in Michelsberg Monastery . To this end, he primarily translates the Latin hagiographic sources on the imperial couple, the Vita Henrici from around 1160 and the Vita Cunegundis from around 1199 , as well as smaller texts.
