File:A Monk as the Devil's Bagpipes, 1535.jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The caricature shows a fat monk, used as bagpipe by the devil. The monk-bagpipe is not Martin Luther (as asserted in some popular literature), but a representative of contemporaneous monasticism which is denunciated to be inspired by the devil. The German text says: Once I (the devil) piped here and there with such pipes, which where very numerous. I piped many fairy tales, dreams and fantasies. Now it's over and the pipes destroyed (by the Lutheran reformation) which makes me sad and angry. But I hope this won't last long because in the world there is enough haughtiness, sin, fraud and ruse.
