In a letter to Sidney of February 1580, Hubert Languet is worrying about finding a tutor for Philip's young brother Robert who is leaving Strasburg for Leipzig. And he writes:
"I noticed that your brother would not easily tolerate being given orders by anyone; which is why I thought he should not be given someone peevish or domineering, which are the typical vices of those who have spent their lives in literary studies and have learnt nothing but literature."
Food for thought?
