English: The Ninety-five Theses or Disputation on the Power of Indulgences, Latina:Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum. This title comes from the 1517 Basel pamphlet printing. The first printings of the Theses use an incipit rather than a title which summarizes the content. The 1517 Nuremberg placard edition opens Latina:Amore et studio elucidande veritatis: hec subscripta disputabuntur Wittenberge.

  • Painting of Martin Luther in monk's garb preaching and gesturing while a boy nails the Ninety-Five Theses to the door before a crowd
    This 19th-century painting by Julius Hübner sensationalizes Luther's posting of the Theses before a crowd. In reality, posting theses for a disputation would have been routine.
