Cornelis DE SCHEPPER to Ioannes DANTISCUS
Paris, 1531-12-06

English register:

De Schepper has arrived in Paris and is looking for books recently published there. As for books published in Germany, one can buy them more easily in the Netherlands. In the recent edition of Erasmus' colloquies there is a new one in which he mocks the burial of Alberto [Pio], Prince of Carpi. In this way Erasmus provoked opposition from the theologians. There are no new publications on the Holy Scriptures that have not reached Dantiscus yet.

Reverendissimo Domino, domino Ioanni Dantisco episcopo Culmensi, serenissimi Poloniae regis oratori, domino tamquam patri honorando

In aula caesaris

Salutem plurimam.

Veni Lutetiam Parrhysiorum. Ibi quaesivi de libris noviter editis, quos intellexi nullos esse hic excusos. Nam qui in Germania sunt excusi, longe habentur facilius istic. Colloquium quoddam Erasmi, quod ille scripsit de sepultura Alberti principis Carporum, qualiter ille cuculla voluerit in Franciscana sepeliri, quod adiectum est veteribus illis, mire torquet theologos nihilque non parant adversus illum. In sacris litteris hoc anno nihil est hic excusum novi, quod ad vos non pervenerit. Proinde nihil est, quod ad te mittam. Alias vellem plura ad te scribere. Commenda me omnibus et bene vale.

Lutetiae Parrhysiorum, die Nicolai XV-c XXXI, VI-a Decembris.
