Note 459 — Chapter II · The Lutheran Hymn-Book—The Book of Arithmetic—The Geometrical Instruments—The Mosaic Pavement—The Lute—The Seven Liberal Arts—The Silver Crucifix—Occult Science—Conclusion

They are there respectively numbered II. and XIX. In both cases the words in the form given are due to Luther: the first hymn being his translation of the ancient “Veni Creator,” the second his paraphrase of the Ten Commandments. The latter first received the title given to it by him, “Die zehen Gebot kürtzer gefasst” (“A shortened Version of the Ten Commandments”), in the Wittemberg “Gesangbuch” of 1529. In Walther’s “Gesangbuch” it is simply numbered “XIX.”
