Kant. Glarus,” pp. 81-100). Georg von Wyss: Die eigenhändige
Handschrift der eidgenöss. Chronik des Aeg. Tschudi in der Stadt-
Bibl. in Zürich (“Neujahrblatt” of the City Library of Zürich for 1889).
Blumer and Von Wyss give the best estimate of Tschudi. Goethe says
that Tschudi’s Swiss History and Aventin’s Bavarian History are
sufficient to educate a useful public man without any other book.
ft185 Published from MS. in the “Helvetica,” ed. by Jos. Ant. Balthasar, vol.
II. Aarau and Berne, 1826 (pp. 165 sqq.).
ft186 See his letters to Zwingli of Dec. 27, 1529, and Dec. 16, 1530, from
Coire. In Zwingli’s Opera, VIII. 386 and 562.

ft189 The old church of Glarus in which Zwingli and Tschudi preached,
burned down in 1861; but the same custom is continued in the new
Romanesque church, to the satisfaction of both parties. So I was
informed by the present pastor, Dr. Buss, in 1890.
ft190 From his native canton, Glarus (Glareana, also Glarona or Clarona;
for the natives: Glareanus or Glaronensis). For another derivation see
Fritzsche, l.c. p. 8.
ft191 He figures in the Epistolae Virorum Obscurorum as a terrible heretic.
ft192 Zwingli’s Opera, VII. 10.
ft193 We have from him twenty-eight letters to Zwingli from July 13, 1510,
to Feb. 16, 1623, printed in Zwingli’s Opera, VII. and VIII., from the
originals in the State Archives of Zürich. Zwingli’s letters to Glarean
are lost, and were probably destroyed after his rupture with the
Reformer.

nostro summo.” Zwingli’s Opera, VII. 274.
ft195 There are thirty-eight MS. letters of Glarean to Tschudi, from 1533 to
1561, in the City Library of Zürich; another copy in the cantonal library
of Glarus.
ft196 Nov. 21, 1556: “Omnes clerici ad Venerem magis quam ad Christum
inclinant.”
