[German Culture Past and Present by Ernest Belfort Bax]@TWC D-Link bookGerman Culture Past and Present CHAPTER II 12/17
"A Written Call, made by the Prince of Hell to his dear devoted, of all and every condition in his kingdom" (1521).
"Dialogue or Converse of the Apostolicum, Angelica, and other spices of the Druggist, anent Dr.Martin Luther and his disciples" (1521).
"A Very Pleasant Dialogue and Remonstrance from the Sheriff of Gaissdorf and his pupil against the pastor of the same and his assistant" (1521).
The popularity of "Karsthans," an anonymous tract, amongst the people is illustrated by the publication and wide distribution of a new "Karsthans" a few months later, in which it is sought to show that the knighthood should make common cause with the peasants, the _dramatis personae_ being Karsthans and Franz von Sickingen.
Referring to the same subject we find a "Dialogue which Franciscus von Sickingen held fore heaven's gate with St.Peter and the Knights of St.George before he was let in." This was published in 1523, almost immediately after the death of Sickingen.
