and is reprinted in Michelet’s Histoire de France (vol. X. 340 sq.).

ft434 Michelet (X. 339) says: “Rien de plus saint, de plus pur, que les
origines du protestantisme français. Rien de plus éloignéde la
sanglante orgie de Munster.”

Alcuin, Deperçan, Calpurnius. There is a monograph on these assumed
names, Diatribe de Pseudonymia Calvini, by Liebe, Amsterdam, 1723,

love never met more conspicuously in a human being,” and quotes the

(followed by Stähelin, I. 88) makes him take part also in the first
edition, which appeared in 1634, and contained only the New
Testament. But this seems to be an error. See Reuss, “Révue de

Herminjard, III. 349, note 8.
