This edition is more true to the 'favoured manuscript P (Paris, BN. ms. lat. 8703)' than the first edition, which 'contains both ill-digested additions and one seemingly deliberate omission'. (J.D. Kinney, 'Making sense of More's humanist Defences', in: Editing texts from the age of Erasmus, p. 43) ¶ With a letter from Erasmus to More. ¶ Willems 240.
