The Essential Erasmus: Includes the Full Text of the Praise of Folly Paperback - 1964
by Desiderius Erasmus; Introduction by John P. Dolan
Summary
In his own day a center of controversy, in the four hundred years since his death known too often solely as an apostle of mockery and irreverence, Erasmus can be seen today in a new lightas a humanist whose concen is at once contemporary and Christian.
The Essential Erasmus is the first single volume in English to show the full spectrum of this Renaissance man's thought, which is no less profound because it is expressed with the grace, wit, and ironic detachment only a great writer can achieve.
Contains the full text of In Praise of Folly
First line
Not unlike a number of other prominent Renaissance figures-Pope Clement VII, Leonardo da Vinci, Don Juan of Austria, to name a few-Erasmus' birth and early childhood are somewhat obscured by the unhappy fact that he was born out of wedlock.
