CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther |
 | | These writers are "evidently led by hearsay, and follow the legendary stories that have been spun about the person of the reformer" (Oerger, op.cit., 80). |
 | | The story rests on an autograph insertion of his son Paul in a Bible, now in possession of the library of Rudolstadt. |
 | | With his three impregnable fastnesses, Ebernburg, Landstuhl, and Hohenburg, with their adventurous soldiery, fleet-footed cavalry, and primed artillery, "who took to robbery as to a trade and considered it rather an honour to be likened to wolves" (Cammbridge Hist., II,154), a menace to the very empire, he was a most useful adjunct. |
