" The press-mark 9, 315, f. 1-7 folio. Almost every man of distinction in those days was the subject of a chronogram ; the events of his life were thereby marked ; the final event, his death, was equally the theme of chronogrammatic epigrams, lamen- tations, and epitaphs. Among the churches of Germany, in books, on medals, indeed almost everywhere, and in all possible manner, they are to be found, composed concisely in one or two words, or by any length of verbiage the writer might be able to i...nvent, all of them which remain unimpaired by time or decay are a sure and safe record of dates when the same is not stated in ordinary figures.

The examples here given are simplicity itself compared with some others, such as the Annus Sexagesimus, by G. Grumsel, which celebrates certain events in the century of 1600 in no less than 2, 068 hexameter and pentameter Latin verses entirely in chronogram.
