Scheible, ed., Melanchthons Briefwechsel, Regesten (1514-1560), (Stuttgart, 1977), I, p. 18. FIRST EDITION of the collection of Philipp Melanchthon's letters addressed to Joachim Camerarius. The volume was edited by Camerarius himself, who in a long prefatory letter to Duke August of Saxony explains the reasons why he decided to publish the correspondence of his lifelong friend. This is the most comprehensive and at the same time the most substantial and intimate correspondence Melanchthon had with a single personality.?Camerarius und Melanchthon verband eine lange, enge und beständige Freundschaft. Zwischen den beiden herrschte eine weitgehende Übereinstimmung sowohl in religiösen als auch in politischen Überzeugungen. Trotz des geringen Altersunterschieds und des grossen beruflichen Gefälles bestand zwischen ihnen eine echte Partnerschaft, voller fruchtbarer Spannungen. Da die Freunde an unterschiedlichen Orten lebten und arbeiteten und sich nicht häufig besuchen konnten, entwickelte sich ein intensive Briefwechsel. Über 900 Briefe Melanchthons an Camerarius sind noch erhalten. Sie bilden, vergleichbar den Briefen Ciceros an Atticus, die lauterste Quelle für Melanchthons Beurteilung der religiösen und politischen Vorgänge der Zeit, den gegenüber Camerarius nahm er kein Blatt vor den Mund. So wissen wir aus diesen Briefen von der ?Heirat wider Willen' und den darauf folgende Eheproblemen des Reformators. Von den Gegenbriefen sind leider nur etwa fünfzig erhalten. Nachlässigkeit und Vorsicht Melanchthons dürften gleichermassen der Grund dafür sein. Nach Melanchthons Tod wahrte Camerarius die Erinnerung. 1566 schrieb er als Erster eine Biographie, und 1569 edierte er einen Teil der Briefen Melanchthons, allerdings in stark bearbeiteter Form, reich an dunklen Anspielungen und rätselhaften Umschreibungen der vorkommenden Personen. Auch Decknamen wurden benutzt. Camerarius wollte vorsichtig sein und dem Andenken seines Freundes nicht schaden, denn in Melanchthons Briefen an Camerarius finden sich schonungslose Urteile über zeitgenössische Teologen und Politiker? (M. H. Jung, Philipp Melanchthon und seine Zeit, Göttingen, 2010, pp. 71-72).In his editorial work Camerarius sometimes changed or obscured entire paragraphs, used mysterious paraphrases, and pseudonyms, when he thought that the memory of his friend could be compromised. In what extent these redactional interferences were made, was first revealed when Melanchthon original letters were made available for research at Rome in 1875 (cf. A. von Duffel, Die Melanchthon-Handschriften in der Chigi Bibliothek, in: ?Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-philologischen und historischen Classe der königlich-bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu München?, 1876, pp. 491-527 and 596-606). These were discovered in the Chigi library, later incorporated into the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (H. Scheible, Überlieferung und Editionen der Briefe Melanchthons, in: ?Melanchthon und die Reformation. Forschungsbeiträge?, G. May & R. Decot, eds., Mainz, 1996, pp. 5-7).The volume contains 610 letters arranged in chronological order. Almost all the letters are addressed to Joachim Camerarius, except two letters addressed by Melanchthon to Sigismund Gelenius and Daniel Stiebar, and one respectively to Michael Rottingus, Erasmus, Konrad Coclenius, Leonhard Fuchs as rector of Tü. …
