[740] To supplement what we said in vol. i., p. 4, we may give a passage from Rörer’s notes of the Table-Talk (ed. Kroker, in “Archiv f. RG.,” 5, 1908, p. 346): “Cum in monasterium intrabam et relinquebam omnia desperans de me ipso, postulavi iterum biblia.” Ib., p. 369 f. “Causa ingrediendi monasterii fuit, quia perterrefactus tonitru, cum despatiaretur ante civitatem Erphordiæ, votum vovit Hannæ et fracto propemodum pede [? through being thrown down by the stroke of lightning?] he entered the cloister and bound himself by vows.”
