An anonymous response on behalf of Charles V to statements made by Edward Lee, English ambassador to the imperial court (published in Exhibita quaedam per Eduardum Leum ..., Antwerp, 1528), is ascribed to the imperial secretary Alfonso Valdés. There are verbal and contextual parallels between the anonymous response and Valdés's Diálogo de Mercurio y Carón. Both works, moreover, contain references to Erasmus, with whom Lee had engaged in a polemic over the text and interpretation of the new Testament. The exchange, therefore, transcends the political sphere, and pits Valdés, an admirer of Erasmian humanism, against Lee, a defender of the scholastic method
