I. Principal Corrections to Volume 53.

Letter No. 39 was translated into Latin by Seckendorf in his Historia Lutheranismi,
lib. I, p. 217, and by Frick, in his German Seckendorf,
p. 449, translated back again into German. Frick's retroversion has been included in
Volume 64, p. 363. The same thing occurs in Walch XXI, 32, and XV, 2375.
In this or a similar way, several pieces have often been made out of a single writing of
Luther's. Naturally the piece in Volume 64 is to be struck out.

The date of No. 95 is given incorrectly: undated, 1523.
The date of this letter is, according to Volume 22, p. 38, the Monday after
Assumptionis Mariæ [the Assumption of Mary], 1522 — that is, August 18, 1522.

The recipient of Letter No. 204, Johann Weissbach, is, in Volume
61, p. 243, called Joachim von Weissbach of Reinersdorf. That the
recipient was a nobleman follows from the address: "Stern, steadfast,
dear sir!" — In the closing, what is missing here is: "Given at Wittenberg on the
eve of St. Bartholomew." — In any case the text in the 61st volume deserves the
preference.

The deliberation No. 216 is directed to the "Instruction of the
Visitors," Volume 23, p. 1ff., where its first page is included (Vol. 23, pp. 30–31),
but the rest, as Luther here advises, is reserved for the visitors.
Since Luther now writes in No. 209 to the Elector: "Our parish pastor,
Master Johann Pomer, and I, have read over the visitors' acts and
changed little in them, as Your Electoral Grace will perceive noted therein,"
there can be no doubt that this "deliberation, drawn up jointly
with Bugenhagen," accompanied that letter. Therefore No. 216
is to be dated October 12, 1527. That the Elector, on January 3, 1528,
commanded Luther to write a preface to the "Instruction of the Visitors"
(Volume 23, p. 1) does not argue against the date given for this
"deliberation."

No. 229 was written, in the same matter, for the same man, Christoffel
Mocha of Segrehn, as was No. 168. This letter therefore belongs
to the year 1526 and is to be dated April 1, 1526, instead of April 19,
1528.

The note to the heading of No. 224, "Balthasar Jöppel, organist
at Dresden," is incorrect, for the style of address, "stern, steadfast," etc.,
