by a single human being the devil's code was brought to sweden from prague after the thirty years war and the deutsche huus frauen zeitunrf tells the following story of its origin : a poor monk who

with the original pen and ink and left him in his well-barred prison a dro.vning man catches at a straw to save himself and the unfortu nate monk he 1 .. in to try his last impos sible task with the
