Epistolarum Obscurorum Vivorum ad Dom. M. Ortuinum Gratium, Volumina II.

Letters of Obscure Men

This book contains a "collection of Latin letters which appeared in the 16th century in Germany, attacking with merciless severity the doctrines and modes of living of the scholastics and monks" (Wood). While not as influential as other literary works during the Reformation, this manuscript still created much controversy (Parker).

This book belonged to Hugh Nibley, a prominent LDS scholar and apologist. His name is written in the front pages of the book.
