Martin Luther’s Small Catchism in: German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew
April 8th, 2011
Matthew Carver, of Hymnoglypt fame, and the translator of Valerius Herberger’s The Great Works of God sent me a note alerting me to the fact that Google books now has a copy of Luther’s Small Catechism, published in Wittenberg, in 1605, that provides the text of the Catechism in four languages: German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Here’s the link to it in Google books.

Wouldn’t it be something to have a modern edition of this with English and Spanish, too?
I just saw an original copy of this at LSTC on Tuesday, shown off by Dr. Ralph Klein! The big puzzle was: why Hebrew? He asked several folks, and someone at Concordia Seminary sent him to a German scholar who might know… and darned if I can remember the answer now. At least you know who to ask.
