Andrew Pettegree on the book-and-bull burning of 10 December 1520, Brand Luther: 1517, printing, and the making of the Reformation (New York: Penguin Press, 2015), 131, citing pp. 203 and 205 of his own The book in the Renaissance (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2010), and p. 251 of Richard Friedenthal's Luther (London: Weidenfeld, 1967).
