In Cambridge Lupset worked closely with [[Desiderius Erasmus]], on [[New Testament]] and patristic texts. He may then have travelled to Italy with [[Richard Pace]]. From 1519 he was supported by [[Cardinal Wolsey]] at [[Corpus Christi College, Cambridge]], as a reader in humanities, as successor to [[John Clement (physician)|John Clement]]. He then was given church livings and lectured in Greek. He was tutor to [[Thomas Wynter]], Wolsey's son.<ref name = BD/><ref name = DNB>{{cite DNB|wstitle=Lupset, Thomas}}</ref>
==Works== A friend of [[Thomas More]], Erasmus, [[Thomas Linacre]], [[Budaeus]], [[Reginald Pole]], and [[John Leland (antiquary)|John Leland]], he did editorial work and saw books through the press for them. He was the supervisor of Linacre's editions of [[Galen]]'s treatises, and of the second edition of More's ''[[Utopia (More book)|Utopia]].'' His own works, mainly letters, translation and moral treatises, were collected for publication in 1545.<ref name = DNB/>
''A dialogue between Reginald Pole and Thomas Lupset'' is an imagined work of political theory by [[Thomas Starkey]]. It is set at [[Bisham Abbey]], and may be based on an actual visit of Lupset to Pole there in 1529. It is in the tradition of ''Utopia'', and of [[Thomas Elyot]]'s almost contemporary ''[[The Boke named the Governour]]''.<ref name = BD/><ref>[[Roy Porter]], [[Mikuláš Teich]] (editors), ''The Renaissance in National Context'' (1992), p. 156.</ref>
