Strana 304 - God, a night spent in arms, is of more avail than two months of fasting or prayer: whosoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven: at the day of judgment his wounds shall be resplendent as vermilion, and odoriferous as musk; and the loss of his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubim.
Strana 216 - Long life and victory to Charles, the most pious Augustus, crowned by God the great and pacific Emperor of the Romans...

Strana 275 - According to the tradition of his companions, Maho- Qnaiifioamet* was distinguished by the beauty of his person, an prophet, outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
