A Contribution to the Improvement of the Editions of Luther's Works. 337

At No. 841, one should read in the heading and the closing, "Vigilia Sancti
Augustini" instead of "Sexti."

For the correction of the heading of No. 846, see No. 438.

No. 876 was perhaps written in the year 1534 (May 10), when Luther
was in the region of Anhalt at that time, and again later in the year. Cf.
Vol. 55, p. 51, "to come again."

No. 377 is addressed to Elector Johannes and is from the year
1525. On October 31 Luther informed the council at Torgau (No. 147)
that Licentiate Basilius Axt would follow their call; but here he writes:
"Now, however, taken on at Torgau as physician." Since Luther, on that
same day, wrote to the Elector the letter No. 146, it becomes probable
that this writing is a postscript to it. Moreover it is Luther's way to
dispatch, on one and the same day, writings concerning one and the same
matter. Cf. No. 41 and 42; No. 126 and 127; No. 307, 308, 309 and
310; No. 390 and 391; No. 501 and 848; No. 605 and 606; No. 611 and
612; No. 720 and 721.

II. Corrections of the Text, Supplements, and Conjectures to Volume
56.

Vol. 56, p. 91, line 11 from the top, "lieben" [dear] is missing. "Herewith
commended to [dear] God."

Vol. 56, p. 104, line 13 from the top, instead of "ohne" [without], "oder"
[or] is probably to be read.

Vol. 56, p. 126, line 2 from the bottom, instead of "wilden frohen Volk"
[wild, glad people] read "wilden frechen" [wild, insolent].

Vol. 56, p. 182, line 10 from the bottom, instead of "gar ihn Georgen
Kanetz wohl" it is probably to be read: "gan (that is, gönne, grant) ihn
Georgen Rau itzt wohl" [grant it now well to Georg Rau]. The n at the
end of a word is easily misread as r in Luther's handwriting; cf. what is
noted further below on p. 201 and p. 214. — A printer by the name of
Kanitz or Kanetz does not occur anywhere in the whole period, neither at
Wittenberg nor elsewhere. The Wittenberg printers in Luther's lifetime
were: Hans Luft, Hans Weiß, Nickel Schirlentz, Georg Rhaw (Rau),
Melchior Lotter (Lotther), Veit Creutzer, Johannes Grunenberg, Joseph
Klug (Clug), and Hans Barth. That Luther, at the time this letter was
written, wanted to turn over something to Georg Rau to print, see on
this Vol. 54, p. 187.

Vol. 56, p. 183, line 3 from the top, instead of "Cyrianus" perhaps
"Cyriacus."

Vol. 56, p. 201, line 7 from the bottom, instead of "an der heiligen
Väter und dem hällischen rothen Hut" [to the holy fathers and the Halle
red hat] very probably: "an den heiligen Vater den Pabst und den
hällischen rothen Hut" [to the holy father the Pope, and the Halle red
hat] (the Cardinal at Halle, Albrecht).

Vol. 56, p. 207, line 4 from the top, instead of "en" read "on," that is,
"ohn" [without].

Vol. 56, p. 214, line 12 from the bottom, instead of "der" read "den,"
that is, "denn" [for, because].

P. 225, line 3 from the bottom, instead of "Hans von Teutzenheyn"
probably "Hans von Taubenheim" (perhaps written Tenbenheym), Rent-
meister [revenue officer] at Torgau.
