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!

I have always liked this site for its rich imagery and historical significance. Thank you for making it available to we who may not have the rich European history of.....well, death.

sig mig en gang hvem var det der laved den frøste dødens dans før det du skriver på din side er da ikke til at finde hoved eller hale i
Hej Nicolaj
Jeg er ked af, at du ikke kan få hoved og hale i det jeg skriver. Der er ca. 450 sider, så kast dig ud i dansen - og nyd den. Der kommer snart 50 mere.
Den første dødedans regnes normalt for at være den i Paris.
Hilsen Martin

This is a truly wonderful site--I will be using it somewhat in my History of Print class--maybe a history of death in another course!

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.
