I have a doctorate in Reformation and am unfamiliar with this "esteemed Protestant historian."

Here's a brief bio on Paulsen. The title of the English translation (I. Lorenz, 1907) is "German Education, Past and Present"

Thanks for the bio...

Can you provide the citation from Luther's works? Dr. Clair Davis, my professor of Reformation History use to tell us, "Men look the quotes up first hand. Don't assume historians either quoted accurately or in context." I have often found this counsel to be validated.
