A meticulously annotated 10-volume edition of the works of St Augustine, offering new insights into one of the most turbulent times in English religious history – Henry VIII's break with Rome – is to be auctioned.
Sotheby's has announced it is to sell an extremely rare and perfectly conditioned first edition of St Augustine's complete works as edited by Erasmus. What makes the set of books even more special is the thousands of tiny red-ink corrections, amendments and commentaries, the majority of which have not been studied academically. [...]
In total, more than 8,000 pages have been annotated with remarks including more than 400 important doctrinal commentaries – from 50 to 3,000 words – by Luther and his fellow reformers, such as Philipp Melanchthon, Wenzeslaus Linck and George Spalatin.

Google News kennt nur einen weiteren Zeitungsbericht darüber, der im Reformatorisch Dagblad aus Apeldoorn (NL) erschien. Lesbar ist der Text aber sonntags nicht – da ist die Website geschlossen: http://www.refdag.nl/zondag. (Wikipedia weiß das auch.)
Besucher aus anderen Zeitzonen werden mit einer speziellen Software ihren eigenen Sonntag hindurch von der Website abgehalten und an diesen "Ruhetag, einen Auftrag Gottes und ein Geschenk, für das wir dankbar sein mögen", erinnert. http://www.nu.nl/internet/590633/website-reformatorisch-dagblad-weer-op-zondag-dicht.html
