4. collegium] See Ep. 965. 9 n. But
Corpus was not strictly trilingual
(cf. 1. 23 n.), as were Ximenes” college
at Alcala and Busleiden’s at Louvain,
except in so far as Hebrew might be
regarded as implicit in the study of
Divinity: the choice of the three lan¬
guages, indeed, being dictated by their
importance for this object (see Ep. 934.
3n., and cf. Hier. adu. Ruffinum 2. 22,
cited by Enders, LE?. 34. 33 n).

23. bibliothecae] Foxe endowed the
library of Corpus with a few MSS. and
a rich collection of books, which com¬
prises most of the Greek and Latin
classics then in print, but no Hebrew.
Some of the MSS. and books he had
acquired from his predecessor in the
see of Durham, John Shirwood (+1493);
see EHR. xxv. 445-56. Claymond also
was a great benefactor to the library.
