Note 1533 — Chapter XL · AT THE GRAVE
E. M. Lamond translation
Janssen, ib., p. 176 f. Cp. the 1571 inscription under Luther’s memorial at Jena where the Latin verses on the founder of the University run as follows:
“Esset ut hæc sanctæ doctrinæ strenue custos Condidit ad Salæ pulcra fluenta scholam Quæ tumidos docto confunderet ore sophistas, Nec sineret falsis dogmata vera premi, Sed quia mox ætas mundi trahet ægra ruinam, Pullulat errorum nunc numerosa seges, etc.”
