About This Edition:

This Project Wittenberg edition of Luther's Bondage of the Will is the first Project Wittenberg work to be made available as an image edition. This means that an image file -- a picture -- of each page is placed on its own World Wide Web page for you to read. This new format allows us to make the file available immediately after it has been scanned and processed. You will not have to wait for the whole work to be ready before you can profit from it. It also means that the work will be incomplete for some time. Please be patient and return often to monitor our progress.

After the image edition has been completed, we will prepare a traditional Project Wittenberg ASCII edition for your use.
