Note 323 — Chapter XXXVI · THE DARKER SIDE OF LUTHER’S INNER LIFE. HIS AILMENTS
E. M. Lamond translation
“Colloq.,” ed. Bindseil, 1, p. 200, where we read (under Dec. 19, 1536): “Eo die Lutherus magno paroxysmo angustia circa pectus decubuit.” The dates given in the Table-Talk are not as a rule altogether reliable, but here they may be trusted because they happen to coincide with a portent in the sky looked upon as a bad omen.
