Mr. Bœhmer, of the university of Halle, has done good service to literature and to the history of religion by reprinting at Halle, in 1860, the Cento e dieci divine Considerazioni di Giovanni Valdesso, and by carefully studying the history of the two brothers. He has communicated the result of his researches in his Cenni Biografici, and in the conscientious paper he has contributed to the Encyclopædia of our learned friend M. Herzog.
