ft180 Malignant enemies spread the rumor that he committed suicide or was
fetched by the devil. See Hagenbach, p. 181. A similar rumor was
started about Luther’s death, and revived in our days by Majunke in
Luther’s Lebensende, 4th ed. Mainz, 1890, but refuted by Kolde and
Kawerau.

Landammanns zu Glarus Chronicon Helveticum oder gründliche
Beschreibung der merkwürdigsten Begegnussen löblicher
Eidgenossenschaft, first printed in Basel, 1734, ‘36, in 2 large fol. vols.
The continuation from 1470-1564 is preserved in Ms. in the monastic
library at Engelberg. His graphic narrative of Tell, reproduced by John
von Müller and dramatized by Schiller, though disproved by modern
criticism, will live in story and song. We may apply to it Schiller’s
lines:—
“Alles wiederholt sich nur im Leben,
Ewig jung ist nur die Phantasie:
Was sich nie und nirgends hat begeben,
Das allein weraltet nie.”
