Hi!
First of all I have to say that your site is just great. I've been looking for Dance of Death information and I found your site very usefull.
I'm very interested in the images you have on the left side. I think they were included in the book "Horae". I was looking for 4 images (La Damoissele, La Balline, La Bourgoise and another one that says something like "Feme aur potecas) (I can't read what it says in the images I have). Do you have them in a bigger size??
Hi Scamper
There are great scans of the book here: la prieure la damoiselle la bourgoyse, la ueusue la marchande la balliue and la bergere femme aux potences la femme de uillage.

Hej, Sikke et godt materiale du har samlet!
Jeg vil rigtig gerne vide svaret på dit eget spørgsmål; citat begynd "Jeg har altid undret mig over udtrykket "at ligne Døden fra Lübeck". Hvad har denne hyggelige juleby, med sit gode øl og hvinende søde marcipan, dog gjort for at lægge navn til dette udtryk ?" - citat slut.
Med venlig hilsen
Maiken
Ja, forklaringen er vel, at maleriet var berømt i hele Nordeuropa og var kendt som "Døden fra Lübeck".

I came to your site for the translation. Thank you so much, it's a great site. I am learning the score of Distler's Totentanz, written in early 40s. You probably know of Hugo Distler, a prolific church musician and composer. Are there other instances of the Totentanz set to music?
Hi Marie
Do I know Distler's Totentanz? Half of my pages carry a banner linking to Totentanz by Crescendo. It's not an ad as such, I've put it there because they are nice people. :-)
Other compositions? Franz Liszt and Camille Saint-Saëns comes to my mind. Have you ever seen "Skeleton Dance" by Disney / Ub Iwerks? Take a look here.

Hello.
Thank you for your very thorough information on the Dances of Death. I am very interested in this subject, and I have a humble collection of prints, and books dedicated to it. While in college, I wrote about a subject that I feel is the precursor to the DOD motif: the "Transi-Tomb." What are your thoughts on this funerary sculpture, and its connection to the Dance of Death?
Thank you again,
Ralph E. Spafford............
Hi Ralph
I can't say I've looked much into this. I'd think the transis are simply a reminder of how "transitive" all flesh is. Of course, there's hardly a dance of death on this planet where Death doesn't tell his dancers that "you'll soon be like me".
In my opinion there's a much stronger influence from the Vado Mori genre and from the story of the three living and the three dead.

Martin,
I'm a senior-year art history major at Bard College in New York. I'm writing my undergraduate thesis on the possibility of dance of death concealed within the German artist Otto Dix's 1928 Metropolis Triptych. I spend a lot of time drawing parallels with traditional Northern European dances, and your site has proven to be a significant and trustworthy resource on multiple occasions. Thank you for putting it together and keeping it up!

This is a wonderful and remarkable site. It justifies the idea of the internet as a place to learn and share significant material (as opposed to fan sites and pointless digital debris). This site shows thought, care, and work went into its creation. Thank you!
