Selections From Table Talk #247909

Martin luther died on the 18th of February, l546 and the first publication of his Table Talk — Tisclweden — by his friend, Johann Gold schmid (aurifaber), was in 1566, in a substantial folio. The talk of Luther was arranged, according to its topics, into eighty chapters, each with a minute index of contents. The whole work in a complete octave edition, published at Stuttgart and Leipzig in 1836, occupies closely printed pages, equivalent to 80 pages, or full fourteen volumes, of this Library.
