The Sorbonne confiscated Rabelais's Greek books
François Rabelais is a French writer whose Greek books were confiscated in 1523. The Sorbonne then considered the learning of this language dangerous, because it was supposed to encourage the free interpretation of the New Testament. With his colleague Pierre Lamy, he finally obtained the authorization of Pope Clement VII to change monastic orders to join the Benedictines.
