Hello! Can you please tell me the title of this image and who the artist is? perhaps even a book or place I could find it. Thank you so much for your time. http://www.dodedans.com/Full/basel2.jpg

Hi Brian
I've already answered your email, but the artist is Matthäus Merian.
I intend to make a section about the dance of death in Basel, and I have purchased the necessary books. But I've spent the most part of 2008 making the Holbein section, so I need a rest. :-)
For the moment I recommend my friend Patrick Pollefey's site.
/Martin
Update: It took a while, but the section about Basel is ready now.

Hej Martin,
det er en kanon side, du har lavet om døden fra Lübeck. Jeg bruger den p.t. i tyskundervisningen i en 1.g ifm. en ekskursion til Lübeck. Ikke mindst tak for dine oversættelser af de plattyske tekster, hhv. sammenstillingen plattysk-dansk. Formidabelt arbejde. Tak for det!
Venlig hilsen,
Holger Hamann

Thank you for a fascinating site - a while ago I became sidetracked by the 'Dance of death' in the margins of a facsimile of 'A book of Christian Prayers...' printed by John Daye 1578 which I was binding at a 16th century recreation at Kentwell, Suffolk and have been watching out for others - just found your site with so many useful ideas and links by googling 'dance of death' after breakfast today. I'll pass it on.

When I saw the fragment of the "danse macabre" in Tallinn last month, I immediately took interest in the 'missing' remainder. Short of heading for the library, I sat down and searched for information on that particular fragment as well as the subject in general on the internet...and almost gave up until I found your site. Jeg ville bare sige mange tak for denne hjemmeside, på grund af hvilken man nu også finder kontexten, med billeder, texter og oversattninger til thema dødedansen i internet. mvh fra Frankfurt

Jeg synes at det er en meget flot gennemgang af dødedansbillederne. Selv har jeg været i Mariakirken i Lübeck og i Nikolajkirken i Tallinn, og der er en ting der længe har undret mig meget. Hvordan kan det være at der ikke findes en farvelagt reproduktion af Døden fra Lübeck i et tysk førkrigsleksikon? eller findes der overhovedet ingen farvefotos fra Mariakirken fra før 1942? Farvefotoet var opfundet, og jeg ved fra Rusland at man har fundet farvebilleder af ødelagte byer og landsbyer ved at lede mellem farvefotos taget af tyske soldater, der specielt under indmarchen 22. juni 1941 og i tiden efter, gik rundt med et kamara med Agfachrome i. Er du nogensinde stødt på farvefotos fra Lübeck?

Hej Troels. Tak for rosen. Jeg har aldrig set farvefotos af dødedansen i Lübeck, og jeg tvivler på, at de findes. Grunden til at jeg bringer de elendige tegninger af Geissler er netop, at de giver en idé om farverne. Jeg tror grunden simpelthen er, at teknikken ikke var god nok dengang. Se selv det rødmossede billede af Gregorsmessen. En anden - og mere underlig - ting er, hvorfor der ikke findes reproduktioner fra før 1701 - altså af det oprindelige maleri. Hilsen Martin

Thank you for having John Lydgates full translation, I was not able to find it in any academic databases, only commentaries on it. And only a short example of five stanzas was given in our book.
Besides that! your website is fun and interactive and I am incredibly appreciative that I found it!
Thank you!

I was fascinated by your article on St.George and the Dragon in Stockholm as I worked in that fine city in the 1980's and have a photo of the same statue.

In your article about the Dance of Death, you say, and I quote, "The purpose of this site is to make the original texts with pictures available on the Internet for the first time in 540 years." No offense, but the internet wasn't around in the 15th century. Just thought I'd point out a possible error. Very interesting, none the less.
Allow me to point out a possible joke. ;-) /Martin
