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.
