2 Sept. Lettres de Louis XII., iii., 19.	858. ANDREA DA BORGO to MARGARET OF SAVOY.
	News has come that the Pope died on 23 Aug., but it is not considered certain. The ambassador of England, accompanied by that of Aragon, has, on behalf of both Kings, exhorted this King to make a general peace, therein providing for the rights of the Church and the restoration of Bologna, and leave the holding of the Council to the Pope. The King did not give them a resolute answer, but mentioned his treaty obligation with the Emperor, to whom (he said) the last articles sent from the Pope made no allusion. Both ambassadors have told the writer privately that their masters wish the Emperor well. *** Lyons [2]9 Aug.
	Postscripts—*** Has now spoken upon the subject of her letters, and the King defers to her wish that his ambassador should not go to Gueldres. The Duke of Savoy has been here three days, visiting the King, and will leave to-day or to-morrow. Lyons, 2 Sept.
	Your proctor of Charolois is here pursuing your affair. *** I have thanked the English ambassador for his favour to Monseigneur as regards Gueldres. The Cardinal of Bayeulx came this morning and is leaving by water for Rome.

	P. 1.
13 Sept. Eras. Ep., X. 17. [Edit. Allen, I. No. 227.]	863. [4447.] ERASMUS to COLET.
	Sends Colet what he had asked for, Officium Chrysostomi, and the letter, of which Colet, who despises rhetoric, will not entirely approve; but Erasmus thinks it not undesirable in a teacher. Begs him not to distrust Linacre, whom he knows to be very friendly to Colet and not too much concerned about the rejected grammar (de rejecta grammatica); he will get over it in time. Has not yet been able to find a suitable under-master for Colet's school. Had a brush with the Scotists and Thomists in Colet's defence. Has begun translating Basil on Isaiah. Will send a specimen to the bp. of Rochester (Fisher), and see if he will recompense his labours. Colet will smile at his importunity. Cambridge, Id. Sept.
	If Colet has any money in hand, entrusted to him for helping others, begs him to send a few nobles to Richard Croke, Grocin's former pupil, now staying at Paris.

	Ferdinand's several creations of Henry Guildford and Wistan Browne, Englishmen, as Spanish knights, in consideration of the nobility of their descent and their having come from their native land to cross with Ferdinand to Africa and fight in the army which he was preparing against the Moors. At Burgos, 15 Sept. 1511. See Spanish Calendar, Vol. II, Nos. 54 and 55.

16 Sept. ? Eras. Ep., VIII. 1. [Edit. Allen, I. 228.]	865. [1842.] ERASMUS to AMMONIUS.
	Thanks him for his wine, but more for his letters. Knew that Ammonius would be angry at the mention of payment; but expected he would send a tolerably large skin to last the writer some months; what he has sent is too large for Erasmus to receive gratis. Had a hearty laugh "de Græco epistolio." Would be unreasonable if he did not pardon More, now occupied with such grave business. Wonders Ammonius sticks so close to the nest. Has nothing to call him to London, even if the sickness should continue. Hears that Pope Julius is dead. Queen's College, Cambridge, 16 Kal. Sept. 1511. (fn. 2)
18 Sept. Le Glay, Corresp. de Max. et de Marg., II., 37.	866. MAXIMILIAN to MARGARET OF SAVOY.
	Has heard her communication by Guillaume Pingun, of his wardrobe. Has no intention of marrying or going near woman again; and, to-morrow, sends the bishop of Gurce to Rome to make an agreement with the Pope to take him (Maximilian) as coadjutor, so that on the Pope's death he may have the papacy and become priest,—and afterwards saint. Is sending to the King of Aragon to ask his aid in this; who is agreeable, provided that Maximilian resign the Empire to their common son Charles. The people and gentlemen of Rome have made a league against the French and Spaniards, and number 20,000 combatants. They have sent offering to aid the Emperor to make a pope "a ma poste, et du l'empire d'Almaingne," wishing neither Frenchman, Aragonese nor Venetian. Has begun to practise the cardinals; wherein 200,000 or 300,000 ducats will do him service. The King of Aragon has sent to his ambassador to secure the Spanish cardinals for him. Begs her to keep this secret although he fears that all the world will know it soon; for it is impossible to practise so great a matter secretly. Signed: Maximilianus, futur pape. 18 Sept.
	Postscript.—The Pope still has double fevers and cannot long survive.
	French.
21 Sept. Ven. Transcr. 176, p. 105. R.O.	867. DOGE AND SENATE OF VENICE to their AMBASSADOR WITH THE POPE.
	21 Sept. 1511.—Glad to hear of the Pope's complete recovery. Although Spain has no reason to respect the scruples of the King of the Romans and still less of France, the League, made as the Signory suggest, viz., to prosecute the war and put Milan in the Emperor's hands for the benefit of his grandson, cannot be called a league against the Emperor. What Sassari writes, of the threats made by the King of France to the Spanish ambassador, shows that King's hostility to Spain and how little he esteems Spain and England.

30 Sept. Titus B. I., 98. B.M. Fiddes' Wol., C. 8.	880. [3443.] WOLSEY to [FOX] BP. OF WINCHESTER.
	On Sunday last the King received letters from Sir Rob. Wingfield, dated the 4th, containing news from the Emperor that the Pope is so ill he is not likely to recover. The lower parts of his body are mortified and cold as stone. The Emperor desiring the advancement of Cardinal Adrian to the Papacy, has sent the Bishop of Gurce to Rome for that purpose, and Sir Rob. Wingfield. Wolsey has spoken to the King on the matter, urging him to support Adrian, as in a manner his own subject. Found him agreeable, but durst not mention Fox's letters of recommendation, as they are not yet sure of the Pope's death. Hopes Fox is not offended. The Lord Chamberlain and Bishop of Durham are inclined to the Cardinal St. George, and dispraise Adrian. Wishes Fox would repair to Court. The Master of the Rolls is at Dover. He writes that never man had worse cheer than he in France; and has done nothing further than I wrote you last. The ambassador of Aragon has dealt liberally with Lord Darcy in the matter of his soldiers. The King has given him the 1,000l. lent at his departure. "Thus the King's money goeth away in every corner." The King does not intend to leave this place till 4 or 5 days before All-Hallowtide. Monday next he goes to London to see his shy[ps ?]. My Lord Steward is not yet come to Court. My Lord Treasurer at his last coming to the King, this day sennight, was so discountenanced that he departed home on the morrow and has not returned to Court. Wolsey thinks it will be a good thing if he were ousted from his lodging there altogether. It is proposed to send the Dean of Windsor to the King of Scots, to declare the cause of the taking of his ships and also to "bear the Queen's bequest for the which she hath instantly written." Mr. Howard urges the King against the Scots, "by whose wanton means his Grace spendeth much money, and is more disposed to war than peace. Your presence shall be very necessary to repress this appetite." The Queen is thought to be with child. "Windsor, the last day of September, with the rude hand of your true and humble priest." Needs not write of Mr. Yng's preferment. Signed: "Thomas Wulcy." (fn. 4)

Eras. Ep., App. 4. [Edit. Allen, I. 230.]	882. [4448.] COLET to ERASMUS.
	Has read his letter with great delight, and wishes boys could be taught in conformity with its directions. How much he wished to have Erasmus for a master in his school; but when he leaves Cambridge, hopes to have his aid in training his masters. Will do in Linacre's matter as Erasmus advises. Wishes him to continue looking for an under-master. Encourages him in the translation of St. Basil, and advises him to imitate Diogenes in despising money. Fortune follows those who fly from her; though Erasmus does not admire such paradoxes. Has no money of others to help Croke; has some of his own for Erasmus if he begs humbly. London, 1513.
Eras. Ep., XXIX. 90. [Edit. Allen, I. 229.]	883. ERASMUS to FISHER.
	Thinking to make a suitable gift for Fisher he began translating into Latin the commentaries of St. Basil upon Isaiah, which he had brought with him from Grocyn's library; but from the style, and the fact that the volume is not named in the lists of St. Basil's works, he now suspects that it is not the work of Basil. It does not now seem to him a fit thing to dedicate to Fisher or to spend labour upon. Sends a specimen. Cambridge, 1510 (sic).
Le Glay, Corresp. de Max. et de Marg., I. 426.	884. MARGARET OF SAVOY to MAXIMILIAN.
	Acknowledges a letter of the 6th inst. Long before its receipt her army was before Vanello, where an ineffectual practice delayed them, but they now hope to take it shortly by force, and so subdue Ruremond and all High Gueldres. The English acquit themselves very well and make more war on the enemies than all the others. They were provided for three months and she wrote to the King to continue their provision; which he has done for one month. By that time she hopes to have done or failed with Vanello. The Emperor should thank the King and beg him to continue his aid as necessity shall require. On the other hand the King has required her to write to the Emperor to submit his difference with the Venetians to the arbitration of the Kings of England and Aragon, and not consent or adhere to this Council of Pisa but leave that to the Pope. Begs him to send back Maitre Loys as soon as possible. Goes shortly to La Haye about the continuance of the aid ordinary, which has already expired, and will then return hither.
