It’s a bit pricey, but we believe it will give insights: specifically, how does one summarize Mr. Cranmer's views of Mr. Fisher's attacks on Mr. Martin Luther?
Mr. Fisher was an international scholar, a Chancellor of Mr. (Canterbury) Cranmer's Cambridge, a Bishop, a devoted student of Aquinas and Scotus, and, later, a victim of Mr. (Henry VIII) Tudor's policies. Er, degradation and then, in Henrician fashion, death.
Mr. Fisher was vigorously combatting Luther and Oecolampadius in the 1520s. We now have evidence that Mr. (Canterbury) Cranmer was vigourously studying Mr. Fisher's works Assertionis Lutheranae Confutatio published in Antwerp, 1523. While Mr. Cranmer gently chides some of the over-the-top rhetoric and arguments by Mr. Fisher, he does not warm to Bruder Martin. Also, there may be evidence that Mr. Cranmer was not a participant at the infamous White Horse Inn. There is further evidence that Mr. Cranmer was "hostile" to Bruder Martin and was a good Papal Romanist Anglican (1.0). The 1520s on Mr. Cranmer are dicey. But, he's working away as a scholar. Again, 1503 to 1529, nearwise 26ish direct years at Cambridge, ages 14 to 40.
