Source Notes

Sy Scholfield quotes from "Biblia, das ist die ganze Heilige Schrift: Alten und Neuen Testaments Verdeutscht von Doctor Martin Luther: Und auf gnädigste Verordnung Des Durchlauchtigsten Fürsten und Herrn, Herrn Ernsts, Herzogen zu Sachsen..." (Nurnberg, 1708): "Fraulein Marien ... zu Weinmar Mittwochs am Abend Nicolai den 6. Decemb. zwischen 6. und 7. Uhren im Jahr 1515." (Maria ... at Weinmar [sic] on Wednesday evening 6 December between 6 and 7 o'clock in 1515). In the Old Style calendar 6-Nov-1515 was a Thursday and 5-Nov-1515 was actually a Wednesday.
