The Saxon Visitation Articles, formally the Visitation Articles in the Entire Electorate of Saxony, are a Lutheran doctrinal statement written in 1592 by Aegidius Hunnius and other theologians against Crypto-Calvinism at the request of the administrator Frederick William, and first published in German the following year.
