I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. LOCLUT_171005_08.JPG: Martin Luther as Priest, Heretic, and Outlaw: The Reformation at 500 Luther the Outlaw Declared a heretic by the church, the Holy Roman Empire now tried Luther as an outlaw. At the Diet of Worms, convened in April 1521, Luther held fast to his views. Despite some sympathy for Luther's cause among the assembled nobles, Emperor Charles V had little choice but to condemn him as an outlaw of the empire. In a staged "kidnapping," Luther's supporters spirited him away to Wartburg Castle in disguise and under an assumed name. While at the Wartburg, Luther later wrote a German translation of the Bible that would profoundly influence the German language. Meanwhile, he continued his busy writing schedule in defiance of church and state, and his allies in the print industry continued to spread his views.
2. LOCLUT_171005_31.JPG: Martin Luther as Priest, Heretic, and Outlaw: The Reformation at 500 Luther the Heretic In the years following his Ninety-five Theses, Luther not only persisted in his critique of the church but expanded it to practically all areas of church authority in civil society and Christian faith. Meanwhile the German presses could barely keep up with the demand for Luther's works, many of which became the first "bestsellers" in history and known throughout Europe. The Catholic Church therefore faced not only a fundamental challenge to its institutions and practices, but one backed by the force of a new technology. Having failed in its efforts to move Luther to recant, the church would meet this threat by branding Luther a heretic and rendering him up to the Holly Roman Empire for trial and punishment.
3. LOCLUT_171005_57.JPG: Martin Luther as Priest, Heretic, and Outlaw: The Reformation at 500 Luther the Priest: Five hundred years ago, on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his Ninety-Five Theses against papal indulgences on a church door at Wittenberg, Germany, sparking a conflict with the Catholic Church that led to the Protestant Reformation. As a priest, Luther thought indulgences harmed the faithful by weakening their attachment to scripture and their personal quest for divine grace. The Holy See quickly recognized Luther's theses as a broader challenge to its power, as the authority for granting indulgences ultimately rested with the pope. The ensuing clash between Luther and Rome produced history's first "media event" as Luther expanded his critique into other areas of church policy and the recent introduction of the printing press gained him a broad readership.

(Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
