ft111 Prof. Dr. Georg von Wyss, in his festive discourse on the University of
Zurich (Die Hochschule Zürich in d. Jahren 1833-1883, Zürich, 1883),
gives a brief sketch of the development of the Carolinum. The first
theological faculty of the university consisted of three Zurichers,
Hirzel, Schulthess and Salomon Hess, who had been professors of the
Carolinum, and two Germans, Rettig and Hitzig. Besides there were
five Privatdocenten, ministers of Zürich. See also Prof. Steiner’s
Festrede zur 50 jährigen Stiftungsfeier der Züricher Universität, 1883.

145-325. Leo Judae published a German translation, 1526. When
Erasmus received the book, he said, “O bone Zwingli, quid scribis,
quod ipse prius non scripserim?” So Zwingli reports in a letter to
Vadian, Opera, VII. 399.
ft113 Five complete editions of the Bible were printed in Zurich before
1534. Pestalozzi, Leo Judae, p. 77.
ft114 On the different editions see Metzger, l.c. 109 sqq., and Fritzsche, in
Herzog 2 , XII. 556 sq. The versicular division was first introduced in the
edition of 1589. The first thorough revision was prepared by Antistes
Breitinger, 1629. Other revisions followed in 1665, 1724, 1755, 1772,
1817, 1860, and 1868. The last is pronounced by Fritzsche one of the
best translations, based upon a conscientious use of the latest
exegetical labors.
ft115 He avoided his family name Jud (Jew); and the Zurichers called him
“Master Leu” (Leo). in all his Latin writings he uses the Latin form.
ft116 Pellican says of him, “Utilissima transtulit admodum feliciter.”
