More About This Textbook

Overview

'Rummel's collection makes available readable translations of Erasmus' most original and influential works; the books that made him the intellectual conscience of this generation of scholars and the inspiration of many Reformers who took positions he did not accept. They reveal the biblical scholar, the humanist and literary theorist, and the social critic that Erasmus was, far more fully and vividly than any previous anthology.' - Anthony Grafton, Program in History of Science, Princeton University
