1 They must have met in Paris long before both had any idea of an official epistolary give and take. The text of letter 906, p. 169, leaves no doubt, it seems: ‘… quand je lis tes lettres … j ‘ a i une impression plus vive encore que si tu me parlais en tête-à-tête, et Dieu sait si en tête-à-tête tu es un compagnon divertissant!’ (v. Allen, no. 906,1. 39-42). Notwithstanding this passage, Madame de la Garanderie writes: ‘… mais cette rencontre “** est improbable.’ (Introd., p. 13). May I suggest (v. p . 167, n. 2) that Erasmus was, at this date (Dec. 1518), very much ill at ease in Louvain and already thinking of leaving.
