Der Pfarrer von Kalenberg. A verse composition on this subject found with
Philipp Franckfürter's name. Though Philipp composed at the end of
the 14th cent. , the poem probably belongs to the end of the 15th cent. ,
and is first mentioned by Brant, Murner and Bebel. A Strassburg ed.

BROADSIDES AND STREET BALLADS.
The full bibliography will be given in vol. iv. Several types of broadside are
noticed in this chapter under other headings (e. g. Dances of Death,
Satires on Women, tracts on Society, Broadside Monstrosities, contro
versies on Witchcraft). It might also be noticed that literary contro-
versies and 'flytings' were already a feature of the popular press;
e. g. The flyting of Dunbar and Kennedy; The flyting between Thomas
Smith and William Gray, 1540 (Fugitive Tracts, ed. Hazlitt, W. O. , 1875).
