Summary/Abstract: The article presents a so far unknown personal dedication of Martin Luther for Prussian Prince Albrecht von Brandenburg-Ansbach (Hohenzollern), on the title page of a copy of an anti-papal print titled Wider das Bapstum zu Rom vom Teuff el gestiff t (Wittenberg, 1545), kept in the old-print collection of the University Library in Toruń (no. Ob.6.II.2382). This is probably a reminder of their last meeting at Wittenberg Castle in December 1545. The author discusses the content of the publication and the circumstances of Albrecht’s visit in that town.
