Note 8 — Chapter I

Peter Tschudi, writing to Beatus Rhenanus from Paris (May 17th, 1519) says: “Reliqui, quod equidem literis dignum censeam, nil superest, quam M. Lutheri opera ab universa eruditorum cohorte obviis ulnis excipi, etiam iis qui minimum sapiunt plausibilia” (Herminjard, Correspondance des Réformateurs dans les pays de langue française, 2nd ed. i. 46). In Nov. 1520, Glareanus wrote to Zwingli that Paris was excited over the Leipzig Disputation; and Bulæus shows that twenty copies of a pamphlet, entitled Disputatio inter egregios viros et doctores Joa. Eckium et M. Lutherum, arrived in Paris on Jan. 20th, 1520 (ibid. 62, 63n.).
