Martin Luther and his Revolt agaiitst the Church 93 of these scraps of conversation was published by Aurifaber in 1566, twenty years after Luther's death. The best modern edition is edited by Forstemann, Luther's Tischreden nach Aurifabers erste Ausgabe (showing the additions and alterations made by later editors), 4 parts, 1844-1848. There is an English translation of Aurifaber's Table Talk by Hazlitt (Bohn Library). Another sixteenth-century editor, Rebenstock, issued a collection of Latin conversations of Luther. This is republished by Bindseil, Lutheri Colloquia, 3 vols., 1863-1866. The sayings are classified under headings: "Of God's Works," "Of the Devil," "Of Antichrist," " Of Magic," etc. For examples of the original notes which underlie the Table Talk, see Lauterbach, Tagebuch auf das Jahr 1538, edited by Seidemann, 1872 ; Tischreden aus den Jahren fjji und JJJ2 nach den Aufzeichnungen von Schlaginhaufen, edited by Preger, 1888 ; and Analecta Lutherana, edited by Loesche, 1892, based on the notes of Mathesius.
