Gooch calls "Denifle's eight hundred pages hurled at the memory of the Reformer among the most repulsive books in historical literature"; nevertheless the author is so wonderfully learned that much may be acquired from him).

E. Belfort Bax: _The Peasants' War in Germany_. 1889. (Based chiefly on Janssen, and unscholarly, but worth mentioning considering the paucity of English works).
