This curious inscription is placed over the organ at Ober Ammergau. Add together its Roman numerals and they give the date at which the organ was dedicated. The English of it is:—
May those who sing the praises of Christ be by virtue of His Sacred Passion one in The Father and in Himself.
A PERFECT CHRONOGRAM
On a damaged inscription to Bishop Berkeley in Winchester Cathedral are the words—VIXI, LVXI—I have lived, I have shone. Added together in their values as Roman numerals the letters of these two words give his age exactly at his death—eighty-three.
