Justus Jonas receipt, 1549.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122503891

This collection consists of a single receipt, on paper, for two Gulden which Jonas received as salary from the City of Erfurt. It is unknown why Jonas was being paid by the City Council. The fact that he uses the word "Zinse" (interest income, or income from a benefice) suggests that it was for services rendered as a preacher in that City.
