Note 3 — Preface.
Joseph F. Sohm translation
This hero and knight of Christ we may understand to be one of Christ’s apostles, but it may also very properly be inferred that reference is had to Gerardus, who went singing before his companions to suffer for Christ’s name. See first book about Arnold, Marsilius, Theodoric, and five other men and two women, who were burnt alive with him at Cologne.
