Luther's house at Wartburg - from a sketch by our special artist, 1862. 'Here are the chapel in which the great reformer preached, the house in which he lived, and the room he occupied, and in which he was engaged upon his translation of the Bible...Luther, besides completing a large portion of his translation of the Bible in his asylum at Wartburg, wrote here several treatises against auricular confession, monastic vows, clerical celibacy, and prayers for the dead, against the Sorbonne of Paris, which had condemned his works, and which he exposed to public ridicule. For nearly a whole year he by turns instructed, exhorted, reproved, and thundered from this mountain retreat, and the beloved voice of the Reformer was everywhere hailed with enthusiasm...In 1534 Luther's translation of the whole Bible was published; and the same year he printed a book against the service of the mass'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
