“…26 The Duke indicates the need to standardise the tools for vernacular teaching, thus implicitly recommending the attached Osiander's catechism as a basis for religious teaching. 27 Surprisingly, this was the first attempt to provide such a tool in German, almost a decade after catechisms in the other languages used in Prussia had already been published. This indicates that Albrecht might have wanted to secure Osiander's position as an orthodox theologian despite the ongoing controversy and simultaneously provide a model text for the parish priests.…”

This paper discusses the development of the vernacular catechism as a printed genre. The process is exemplified by the editions published in Königsberg between 1545 and 1575 where the catechisms were printed in several vernacular languages (German, Lithuanian, Polish, Prussian) in printing shops run by Hans Weinreich, Aleksander Aujezdecki, and Hans Daubmann. The paper seeks to analyse the material in terms of linguistic coverage in the Duchy of Prussia and, via analysis of the peritextual elements, how the print agents presented their work to the recipients. The aspects of book design, such as the volume, format, and decorations, are included in the analysis to indicate the intended book prestige and usage.
