Luther, vol. 3 of 6

Note 1025 — Chapter XVII · (continued 4)

E. M. Lamond translation

Letter of February 20, 1510, “Briefwechsel,” 1, p. 431: “expositus et involutus ... crapulae.” Cp. our vol. i., p. 368. Luther uses the word “crapulatus” in the sense of “ebrius,” “Werke,” Weim. ed., 3, pp. 559 and 596. In the larger Commentary on Galatians, however, a distinction is made between “ebrietas” and “crapula,” 3, pp. 47 and 53; cp. the smaller Commentary (1519), Weim. ed., 2, p. 591: “Commessatio, quae Lc. xxi. 34 [crapula] dicitur; sicut ebrietas nimium bibendo, ita crapula nimium comedendo gravat corda.”
