2nd ed. (1st: Badius Jan. 1529). Alberto Pio (1475-1531), prince of Carpi, for years attacked
Erasmus on his relationship with Luther. Erasmus confronted him by writing a letter denying that
he defended Luther (Allen 1634, also printed here). Alberto drafted a “Responsio”, finally publ. in
1529, soon followed by a “Responsio” by Erasmus.
