The most available Catholic study of Luther's personality and career is the scholarly work of Hartmann Grisar, Luther, 3 vols. First Principles of the Reformation, ed. by Henry Wace and C. A. Buchheim , contains an English translation of Luther's "Theses," and of his three pamphlets of 1520.
Some of them may yet let the world know what they think of the attempt to make them the squires of such knights errant as Denifle and Grisar. It is about ten years ago since the Jesuit Grisar began to publish his Life of Luther, twice that time, since Denifle painted his caricature of Luther.
H. Maudsley has gone fully into the case of Swedenborg in an article in the Journal of Mental Science for July and October 1869, since reprinted in his Body and Mind. See Luther, by H. Grisar, 1913, vol. i. pp. 16-7. For other cases, and a general account of the relations between pathologic states and religious delusion, see Lombroso, Man of Genius, chap. iv. pt. iii.
