I insert here certain letters from Zwingli to Beatus Rhenanus, which have a bearing upon the esteem in which Froben was held by his literary friends, and which contain also some interesting references to the books most desired by Zwingli.[91] _Zwingli to Beatus Rhenanus._ ZURICH, February 22, 1519. ... We have received from Froben certain presents of books. While they are pleasing on account of their contents, that they are the gifts of Froben, adds to their value.... If Froben has them, let him send three copies of _Sallust_. Also send some more copies of the _Paraclesis_ and _Compendium_ of Erasmus. March 25, 1519. ... Urbanus Rhegius has just sent us a little book, edited by himself, on the _Dignity of Priesthood_.... We wonder very much that Froben, who is usually so wide awake, has in this instance been asleep and has allowed such a book to go forth from his press. While the book has been made by _Faber_ it is not well “_fabricated_.” April 24, 1519. ... _Phalarismus_ has not yet come to us; and only a single copy of _Febricula_ (two dialogues of Hutten’s); please send if possible several copies; also the _Paraphrases_ (of Erasmus) and the _Apology_ of Zasius against Eck.... We will send the money to Froben, I trust, sometime within the month. We are continually in want of the _Etymologicum_ and of _Pliny_, _Lucian_, and _Cyprian_.... Greet Froben and all of his.... June 7, 1519. ... I am indebted to Froben for many favours and am also under great obligations to yourself because you are at such pains to provide me and my flock with the things of value to us which appear from time to time. Will you be so kind (for what will one not ask of a patron of letters?) as to put into the press, if Froben is not thereby inconvenienced, some dialogue of Lucian annotated by Erasmus, yet not so annotated as to become an interpretation, for that would induce laziness in the boys. He may, if he will, take in its place the first book of Aristotle on animals.... Clauserus the physician asks from Froben the works of Copus to be prepared in his own name.... Greetings to Froben. June 25, 1519. ... Lichtenberg says that Capito has a copy of _Lucian_ and of _Aristophanes_; these I wish you would induce him to sell to us as soon as he returns home. When the writings of Luther have come from the press, please send them to us by the first messenger or carrier who can bring a considerable number of copies. He shall have the money at once. Oct. 12, 1520.
