Erasmi Roterodami, Vol. 10: Denuo Recognitum Et Auctum; 1532-1534Since J une 1940 the continent of Europe has been closed to us and it has not been possible to follow our former practice of col lating the proofs with the originals. The loss has been mitigated, to some extent, by the large number of photographic reproductions which we now possess. For the photograph of Ep. 2745 we are indebted to the courtesy of the Bibliothèque Royale de Belgique. For that of Ep. 2806 from the Landesbibliothek of Stuttgart, we have to thank Dr. W.

All the Familiar Colloquies of Desiderius Erasmus, of Roterdam, Concerning Men, Manners, and Things

History

HardPress Limited

This witty, influential work by one of the greatest scholars of the Renaissance satirizes the shortcomings of the upper classes and religious institutions of the time. The most effective of all Erasmus's writings — ripe with allusions, vignettes, and caricatures — the literary gem was not only an extremely intelligent and articulate response to pretentiousness of all sorts, it also proved to be spiritual dynamite, leaving monastic brothers and clergymen the objects of universal laughter. The book's purported narrator, the goddess Folly, proclaims herself to be the daughter of Youth and Wealth, nursed by Drunkenness and Ignorance. She is accompanied by such followers as Self-love, Pleasure, Flattery, and Sound Sleep. A clever mix of drollery and fantasy, fast-paced and lighthearted in tone, the work has proved to be a lively and valuable commentary on modern times. It remains, according to the great Dutch historian John Huizinga, "a masterpiece of humour and wise irony … something that no one else could have given to the world."

This volume includes the texts of Erasmus's 1524 diatribe against Luther, De Libero Arbitrio, and Luther's violent counterattack, De Servo Arbitrio. E. Gordon Rupp and Philip Watson offer commentary on these texts as well.
Long recognized for the quality of its translations, introductions, explanatory notes, and indexes, the Library of Christian Classics provides scholars and students with modern English translations of some of the most significant Christian theological texts in history. Through these works--each written prior to the end of the sixteenth century--contemporary readers are able to engage the ideas that have shaped Christian theology and the church through the centuries.
