Stunica & Erasmus

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has studied Stunica's "Erasmus of Rotterdam Blasphemies and Impieties" which he drafted in the fall of 1521 and presented to Pope Leo X. This was in three books with extensive critical argumentation prefacing each with a personal letter to Pope Leo X laying out his charges by way of evidence. Pope Leo X forbade it's printing, but he died in December of that year, and Stunica proceeded with a severely edited version removing the bulk of his arguments - I think this printing was only 54 pages long, and is vastly different from the original three books.

If anyone has done any work in this area I would like to discuss it and pick your brain a bit.

Cordially,

Thomas
