Luther, vol. 5 of 6

Note 1681 — Chapter XXXIII · (continued 2)

E. M. Lamond translation

Cp. “Werke,” Erl. ed., 26², p. 177. Above, p. 383 f.—According to the Table-Talk (“Werke,” Erl. ed., 60, p. 239) Luther was once shown a picture of the Pope being hanged on his keys. Possibly this is the same caricature of the Pope, which, according to Lauterbach’s “Tagebuch,” p. 64, he altered and amended with “technæ veraces et odiosæ” on Good Friday, 1538. It has no connection with the present picture on which the keys do not appear.
