[295] No doubt James Wedderburn, merchant at the West Kirk Style of
Dundee, who carried on a large trade with the Continent, and was known
to be friendly to those holding the reformed opinions. One of his sons
was then studying at St Andrews, and probably had been the means of
communication between the canons and Dundee to secure beforehand a
speedy departure for their fugitive friend. [For many interesting
details concerning the sons of this Dundee merchant, see Dr Mitchell's
Wedderburns and their Work, 1867; and also his edition of The Gude and
Godlie Ballatis, 1897, pp. xvii-xxxii, lxxxiii-civ.]
[296] [In his Introduction (pp. xviii-xx) to Gau's 'Richt Vay to the
Kingdom of Heuine,' Dr Mitchell says: "The treatise 'De Apostolicis
Traditionibus,' in which he [_i.e._, Alesius] has given an account of
his visit, and of the manner in which he was received by his countrymen
and the reforming preachers of Malmoe, is one of the rarest of his minor
treatises, and is not to be found in any of our Scottish libraries, nor
in the British Museum, nor even in the library of the University of
Leipsic, in which he was so long an honoured professor.... Neither the
name of Gau nor that of any other of his countrymen then in the city is
given by Alesius.... Principal Lorimer has ingeniously conjectured that
Gau may have come out to act as chaplain to his countrymen at Malmoe. And
I am inclined to accept the conjecture to a modified extent.... At any
rate, we find that before the close of 1533 he was in Denmark, and had
got such an accurate knowledge of the Danish language that he had
translated and published a treatise of considerable length from Danish
into his native Scotch." In the Appendix to the same Introduction (p.
xlv) Dr Mitchell explains that "modern Danish scholars express doubts
whether, in the early part of the 16th century, any nation, save the
German as represented by the Hanseatic League, was organised as a
distinct community at Malmoe."]
