The Marburg Articles, the fifteen articles drawn up at the close of the October 1529 Marburg Colloquy between the Wittenberg and Swiss reformers, are the colloquy's own primary statement of what was agreed and, in the fifteenth article, what was not. As a statement subscribed to in the participating theologians' own names, it is fully authoritative for what was actually settled at Marburg, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. The document records the outcome of one specific meeting rather than a full history of the Lutheran-Reformed division that grew from its unresolved fifteenth article, which needs a separate historical source.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
The Marburg Articles, drawn up at the close of the October 1529 Marburg Colloquy and subscribed to in the participating theologians' own names, the lower tier reflecting a primary confessional record with no independent publisher or editorial vetting behind it, weighed against its full authority for what was actually settled at Marburg, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. It records one meeting's outcome, not a full history of the later Lutheran-Reformed division. NotesFifteen articles drawn up at the close of the colloquy held at Marburg in October 1529 between the Wittenberg and Swiss reformers. The parties agreed on fourteen. The fifteenth records their agreement on communion in both kinds and their failure to agree whether the true body and blood of Christ are bodily present in the bread and wine, and it is that clause the later division between the Lutheran and Reformed churches runs back to.

Custodian BodyThe Marburg Colloquy
Custodian BasisAgreed and subscribed in their own names by the theologians present at Marburg in October 1529, so it is the authority on what the two parties there settled and what they did not.
