Electors of Saxony in Luther’s Time: Frederick the Wise

» Phil_J - Another One

Thanks for the information on Frederick the Wise.

If I'm not mistaken, I think I observed a Masonic Ritual (Scottish Rite) that highlights this man and his protection of not just Luther; but others as well.

In response to message posted by Habakkuk:

Well, I dropped the ball on this one. Usually I provide English translations of foreign words/phrases. And I failed to do so here!

However, I have been unable to decipher off-hand what it means. There appears to be no one else who has provided a translation, either. Roughly translated it seems to mean "Hardly are so many powerful." But I'll continue looking into that and get a more precise translation.
