Les étymologies grecques de Guillaume Budé by Luigi-Alberto Sanchi

“…His scholarly works, notably the Commentaries on the Greek Language (Commentarii linguæ Græcæ, 1529, 1548), contains several examples of this intellectual curiosity for Greek traces supposed or present in French, including in everyday language; the pride that would spring from such a prestigious linguistic descent seems to motivate the speech of the Parisian humanist about these etymologies.…”
