FOOTNOTES

[1]The first Lutheran hymn book was “Etlich Christliche Lieder” of 1524. This little hymn book may have been published without Luther’s assistance. Perhaps the most important hymn book, containing a number of Luther’s hymns, was “Geistliches Gesangbuechlein” of 1524. “Enchiridion oder ein Handbuechlein” appeared in 1524. Other important hymn books appeared in 1526, 1531, and 1535.
