Rectory, Hereford, June 8. 1851.
[The author of the curious work in the possession of our
correspondent is John Geiler, called also Gayler, Keiserspergius,
an eminent Swiss divine, who was born in 1445, and died in 1510.
His works in German and Latin are books of rare occurrence, and
consist principally of Sermons. Oberlin published in 1786 a
curious life of Geiler. For the titles of his various works,
consult Panzer's _Annales Typographici_, vol. vi.]
_Death_ (Vol. iii., p. 450.).--Has S. T. D. consulted the excellent
treatise of Lessing, "Wie die Alten den Tod gebildet?" It is illustrated
with many engravings. (See Lessing's _Sämmtliche Schriften_, 1839, vol.
viii.)
