P. J. Twisck's Account of Said Johannes Scotus

"Johannes Scotus," he writes, "lived under the Emperor Louis the Pious, and wrote strenuously against transubstantiation. On one occasion, when in an exposition he was sharply condemning the delusion of the blasphemous oblation, or offering up, of the Lord Christ in the Supper for the living and the dead, his disciples and hearers killed him with iron styles." Chron., 9th book, folio 306, column 2, from Hist. Andr., folio 160.
