But there's a mention about Riga Johann Briesmann's Kurtz Ordnung des Kirchendiensts, i guess that it contains Nikolaus Ramm's translation, right? It should be, because year 1530 is also mentioned here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_language quote: "The oldest known examples of written Latvian are from a 1530 translation of a hymn made by Nikolaus Ramm, a German pastor in Riga." Let's assume it's there, can you help me find it? | |

| Jan 16, 2016 at 21:24 | comment | added | Yellow Sky | Have a look at this, it says that "they say" Ramm may have translated the hymn: lituanus.org/2002/02_2_07.htm | |
