Identify this:

[Conchaga]

Off the top of my head, a german translation on Dante's works with seven virtues and sins?

 

[FBI parte due]

Nein.

This is an original work, and it's by someone who started off on the Lutheran side, not the Catholic one.

 

[Archibald Nixon]

Albrecht Dürer?

 

[FBI parte due]

Nope. The guy in question was known more for his theological work than his illustrations.

 

[FBI parte due]

What the upper left diagram illustrates is particularly important to the theology he came up with.

 

[FBI parte due]

More general than that, even.

 

[Archibald Nixon]

Kind of a wild stab, but:

Rosicrucianism?

 

[FBI parte due]

Roughly the right time period, though.

The image in question shows up on the first page of a Google Images search for his full name, in case you want to check your guesses.

 

[Conchaga]

Well, either your clue of google image search is incorrect, or all of these names are.

 

[FBI parte due]

Apparently the Wikipedia High Council or whatever decided he was too heretical and mystical to stick with the rest of those stodgy Lutherans.

Good idea, though!

 

[Conchaga]

Shucks!

 

[Archibald Nixon]

In the future, make sure to change the filename of the pic in question, lest someone who uses the same picture-hosting site stumble across it in the public gallery.

Now I feel too dirty to post something. Next turn's up for grabs.

This thread is a great way to practice your internet sleuthing skills.

 

[Dual]

 

[Conchaga]

Great... A castle on top of a hill in Europe. Why don't you just have us find a needle in a needlestack?

 

[Dual]

That'd be far too easy!

 

[Dual]

Hint: It's in a capital city.

 

[FBI parte due]

Hilarious!

 

[Archibald Nixon]

I've got a couple I want to post so let's see if I can get this rolling again...

Vlad the Impaler's castle?

 

[SuN]

Depiction of Alamut?
