Editing Guillaume Budé (section)

==Death==
Before his death in Paris, he requested to be buried at night, and his widow's open profession of [[Protestantism]] at [[Geneva]] (where she retired after his death), caused him to be suspected of leanings towards [[Calvinism]].<ref name="EB1911"/> 

Sections of his correspondence with Erasmus also suggest this religious inclination. At the time of the [[St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre]], the members of his family were obliged to flee from France. Some took refuge in [[Switzerland]], where they worthily upheld the traditions of their house, while others settled in [[Swedish Pomerania]] under the name Budde or Buddeus (see [[Johann Franz Buddeus]]).<ref name="EB1911"/>

Budé was also the author of ''Annotationes in XXIV. libros Pandectarum'' (1508), which, by the application of [[philology]] and [[history]], had a great influence on the study of [[Roman law]], and of ''Commentarii linguae Graecae'' (1529), an extensive collection of lexicographical notes, which contributed greatly to the study of [[Greek literature]] in France.<ref name="EB1911"/> ''Epistolae'' (1520, 8vo) is a  collection that contains only a small part of the voluminous correspondence of Bude, written in Greek with remarkable purity.

Budé corresponded with the most learned men of his time, amongst them [[Erasmus]], who called him the "marvel of France", and [[Thomas More]]. He wrote with equal facility in Greek and Latin.<ref name="EB1911"/>
