I did see that others had titled that Death with the bellringer as "Der
Tod als Freunde". (I do beg your pardon; I neglected to say that your
reproduction of "Der Tod als Erw�rger" is very good, by the way.) But the
mistitled one was the first that came up in my Google search. Most of the
other sites were in German - I can only read very rudimentary German. (My
pocket German-English dictionary says erw�rgen means "strangle". Does
Erw�rger mean strangler?)
