612. ro. Wimphlin.] Perhaps a letter
of which the heading alone survives, in
just this part of the Deventer Letter¬
book (f. 180 v°): ‘Domino Erasmo
Roterodamo,Germaniae laudi et gloriae
et diuinarum literarum principi,
sese offert, subiicit et commendat
Iacobus Wimphlingus, veteranus et
caecutiens.’
a Rysero] Probably the letter which
is answered by Ep. 606.
11. ex Italia] Perhaps Ep. 589, which
may have been written and sent off in
the interval before Egnatius answered
Erasmus’ letter (cf. Ep. 588. 29, 30).
In forwarding Ep. 588 (Ep. 611. 71)
Hutten mentions no other letter. On
this view the month-date conjectured
for Ep. 589 would be incorrect.

Jan.? 1552), younger son of Philip,
Count Palatine of the Rhine (1448¬
1508), the patron of Heidelberg univer¬
sity, whose children were educated by
Reuchlin and Adam Werner. Henry
received rapid preferment in the
Church, as Canon of Cologne, Provost
of Aachen, Provost of Strasburg 1520¬
43, coadjutor Bp. of Worms 1523. He
was a devoted adherent of Charles v,
and on the death of Philip of Burgundy
(p. 14) was rewarded with the see of
Utrecht; but being unable to hold
that turbulent diocese, he resigned in
1528, and retired to his see of Worms,
where he died. From 1541-2 until his
death he also held the see of Freising.
