1. An edition of Luther's sermons on the Ten Commandments (preached in 1516 and 1517) published in 1518 by Johannes Agricola from his own notes. Luther was dissatisfied with Agricola's version so he prepared his own edition of the sermons and published them in April, 1519, listed here in the next entry.

2. About the title: β€œIn 1519 there appeared also his Short and Good Explanation Before Oneself and Behind Oneself ('vor sich und hinter sich') a concise explanation how the seven petitions must be understood before oneself ('vor sich'), i.e. being ever referred to God, while many, thinking only of themselves, put and understand them behind themselves ('hinter sich')” (p. 82, Historical Introductions to the Book of Concord, Friedrich Bente, Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Missouri, 1965. [A reprint of the historical introductions from the 1921 Concordia Triglotta.])
