Note 710 — Chapter XXXVII · LUTHER’S LATER EMBELLISHMENT OF HIS EARLY LIFE
E. M. Lamond translation
Reprinted in Luther’s “Briefwechsel,” 1, p. 79: “De tua præstantia, bonitate, eruditione creber sermo incidit.” After having spoken of Luther’s “celebris fama,” Scheurl expresses the wish “to become his friend.” The words are simply those in common use among the humanists.
