One more reason to like Luther:

Luther recommends that a good library contain: "Holy Scripture in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, German, and in whatever other languages it may be available.  Then there should be the best and oldest commentaries, if I could find them, in Greek, Hebrew and Latin.  Then books that aid us in acquiring the languages."

(quoted in Erika Rummel, The Humanist-Scholastic Debate, 115).
