Basle his dwelling-place for nearly eight years: 1521-9 Political thought of Erasmus Concord and peace Anti-war writings Opinions concerning princes and government New editions of several Fathers The Colloquia Controversies with Stunica, Beda, etc. Quarrel with Hutten Eppendorff
Only the most important ones need be mentioned. Since 1516 a pot had been boiling for Erasmus in Spain. A theologian of the University at Alcalá, Diego Lopez Zuñiga, or, in Latin, Stunica, had been preparing Annotations to the edition of the New Testament: 'a second Lee', said Erasmus. At first Cardinal Ximenes had prohibited the publication, but in 1520, after his death, the storm broke.
For some years Stunica kept persecuting Erasmus with his criticism, to the latter's great vexation; at last there followed a rapprochement, probably as Erasmus became more conservative, and a kindly attitude on the part of Stunica. No less long and violent was the quarrel with the syndic of the Sorbonne, Noel Bedier or Beda, which began in 1522.
