English: The Ninety-five Theses or Disputation on the Power of Indulgences, Latina:Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum. This title comes from the 1517 Basel pamphlet printing. The first printings of the Theses use an incipit rather than a title which summarizes the content. The 1517 Nuremberg placard edition opens Latina:Amore et studio elucidande veritatis: hec subscripta disputabuntur Wittenberge.
