[Footnote 6: Erasmus's edition of 1516 was the first _published_ Greek
Testament. Its dedication to Leo X., and its publication at the expense
of the Archbishop of Canterbury, sufficiently disclose to us the
Catholic auspices under which it appeared. In the dedication, which is
dated the 1st of February, 1516, Erasmus commemorates the many glories
of the house of Medici, and especially the zeal of Pope Leo in promoting
religion and literature, and adds: "Quamquam ut ingenue dicam, quidquid
hoc est operis videri poterat humilius quam ut ei dicandum esset quo
nihil majus habet hic orbis, nisi conveniret, ut quidquid ad religionem
instaurandam pertinet haud alii consecretur quam summo religionis
principi et eidem assertori". As regards the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Erasmus writes of him that he deservedly held the post of _legate_ of
his Holiness: "Cui meipsum quoque quantus sum debeo non modo universum
studii mei proventum".]
