Note 966 — Chapter XVII · (continued 3)

Under the heading “Der ‘gute Trunk’ in den Lutheranklagen” the present writer published an article in the “Hist. Jahrb.,” 26, 1905, p. 479 ff., which under a revised form is given anew in the following pages. In view of the strong verdicts frequently pronounced upon Luther’s love of drink, we may point out that P. Albert Weiss, O. P., in his “Lutherpsychologie” (Mainz, 1906, p. 185 f.; 2nd ed., p. 274), goes so far as to declare he was inclined to “tone down this or that opinion expressed by Grisar,” but that he was thankful that he had “treated the subject with such moderation.”
