Moreover, he had the service especially of Knaake's valuable collection of Luther's printed writings, Luther's first lecture on the Psalms in the time between 1513 and 1516, edited by Seidemann, 1876, in which the maturing of his new theology could be detected, and, if we exclude the less important, Kolde's study of the German Augustinian Congregation.
