-First, Hans sent Martin to Latin school at age 14 and then on to the University of Erfurt.
- Second, Luther proved to be extraordinary, intelligent, earning his bachelor’s at age

him the nick-name “The Philosopher.”A pleased Hans gave his son the costly gift of
the central text for legal studies at the time, the Corpus Juris Civilis.
