On Hans Luft, see Mombert, pp. 110 ff. , also Athenæum, 18 April 1885, and
2 May 1885. The review points out T. 's indebtedness to Luther, and the
greater violence of his glosses when original and not borrowed from Luther.
Also Sayle, pp. 1406, 1407.
As to Tindale's scholarship, there has been much discussion. Reference
should be made to Westcott (ed. W. Aldis Wright), Lupton's article in
Hastings's Bibl. Dict. and the reviews in the Athenæum of 18 April and
2 May 1885. There is more doubt as to the adequacy of his Hebrew than
of his Greek.

OTHER WRITERS. (a)
It may be noted that, in the earlier stages of the reformation, writers
borrowed freely from each other, sometimes verbally, and sometimes with
slight adaptation; it is thus as difficult to attribute works of this date as it
is in the case of medieval writings.
Coverdale, Myles, Remains of. Ed. Pearson, G. Parker Society. Cambridge,
1846.
Writings of. Ed. Pearson, G. Parker Society. Cambridge, 1844.
Collected Letters of Martyrs. 1564. For his Erasmus's Enchiridion see
B. M. Cat. I, 417. He reproduced Wyclif's (supposed) Wicket, 1550.
The Wicket, which was a'so reprinted 1546 (see Sayle, 6712), was often
joined to Tracie's Testament.
See British Museum Catalogue of Early English Books, pp. 416-8 and
D. of N. B.
Fish, Simon. Supplication of Beggars. (See Foxe, Actes and Monuments,
IV, 656-667, published c. 1528. ]
For bibliography, see Arber, English Scholars' Library, reprinted 1878
and 1880. Also E. E. T. S. (Furnivall), 1871. Fish also wrote The Summe of
the Scripture, 1529, reprinted 1547 and 1548.
Frith, John. For Works and also for those of other reformers see Parker
Society's publications.
Fulke, Wm. Defence of the sincere and true translations of the Holy
Scriptures into English tongue. Ed. Hartshorne, N. C. Parker Soc. 1843.
Joye, George. An Apologye made by George Joye to satisfye (if it may be)
W. Tindale to poorge and defende himself ageinst many sclaunderouse
lyes feyned upon him in T. 's uncharitable and unsober epistle. 1534
(reprinted by Arber in Eng. Scholars' Library, 1883). 1535. There has
been much confusion early and late between Roy and Joye. Joye was a
fellow of Peterhouse, and helped Tindale in his controversy with More.
Wm Roy, author of Rede me and be not wrothe (see Arber's reprint,
1871), helped Tindale in the N. T. See also in Arber's same reprint A
Compendious olde Treatyse howe that we ought to have the Scripture in
Englysshe, written by a Lollard about 1450; and A proper dyaloge
betwene a gentillman and a husbandmen eche complaynynge to other
their miserable calamitie through the ambicion of the clergye. He trans-
lated Erasmus's An exhortation to the dilygent study of Scripture (Hans
Luft, 1529; see Sayle, 6271). For bibliography and history of all these
works see Arber's reprint of 1871. (For both Joye and Roy see D. of
N. B. )
Lever, Thos. Sermons. Reprinted by Arber. 1871.
Ponet, John (15147-56), Cambridge scholar, bishop of Winchester and trans-
lator of Bernardino Ochino's Tragoedie or Dialoge of the unjuste usurped
primacie of the Bishop of Rome, etc. (1549).
Ridley, Nicholas (1500? –55), studied at the Sorbonne and Louvain, as well
as at Cambridge. As master of Pembroke, bp of Rochester (1547) and
bp of London (1550), he had great influence. He is poorly represented
by his extant writings: A brief declaration of the Lorde's Supper (1555),
reprinted by Moule in 1895; Certen godly, learned and comfortable Con-
ferences betwene N. R. , late Bysshope of London, and Hughe Latymer,
sometime Bysshope of Worcester, whereunto is added a Treatise age the
error of Transubstantiation by N. R. Works edited by Christmas, H. ,
