1thereof at the command of the Elector and sent it to him when finished,
but it was never
published as written by Agricola. Albinus, Hofmann, and Struve give some details of letters
in reference to it. Fabricius in a letter27 dated Nov. 11, 1536 asks Meurer to send Agricola
some material for it; in a letter from Fabricius to Meurer dated Oct. 30, 1554, it appears
that the Elector had granted Agricola 200 thalers to assist in the work. After Agricola's
death the material seems to have been handed over to Fabricius, who made use of it (as he
states in the preface) in preparing the work he was commissioned by the Elector to write,
the title of which was, Originum illustrissimae stirpis Saxonicae Libri, and was published in
Leipzig, 1597. It includes on page 880 a fragment of a work entitled Oratio de rebus Gestis
Ernesti et Alberti Ducum Saxoniae, by Agricola.
