Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. This is a biography of Desiderius Erasmus (1466 - 1536) by Johan Huizinga. "Erasmus of Rotterdam" is the 1952 English reprint of J. Huizinga's biography of the man who was one of the foremost thinkers and humanists of his time. This edition was published by Phaidon in London. There is a note on the copyright page that the English translation was originally done by F. Hopman in 1924, when it was first published in New York by Charles Scribner & Sons. Further, the note indicates that the selection of Letters by Erasmus were newly translated by Barbara Flower for this edition. The book has an Introduction by G. N. Clark, also for this edition. For these reasons, not only is this the First Printing by Phaidon, but it is also the First Thus. The book has 32 plate illustrations, scattered through the text. Excerpted from the jacket write-up : |> Erasmus of Rotterdam was the most outstanding among the scholars who laid the foundations of modern leaning. His most popular work, the "Praise of Folly", is still being widely read. Erasmus's life and times are treated in this masterly study by one of the foremost historians of the Twentieth Century. |> This book does more than give a portrait of Erasmus the man and an account of his activities. It sketches lucidly the intellectual and religious trends of a period when manuscripts of antique authors were being discovered and edited by the labors of humanists, when the Greek and Hebrew languages began to be seriously studied, when the printing press had begun its revolutionary progress, and when Luther laid the foundations of the Reformed Church. |> This edition contains an interesting selection from the correspondence of Erasmus, newly translated from the Latin. The book has 32 plate illustrations, including portraits of Erasmus - some of the works reproduced are by famous artists such as Durer and Holbein. . <| SERIES : Phaidon Pocket Series TITLE : Erasmus of Rotterdam AUTHOR : J.

Softcover. Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. Als Martin Luther zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts mit seinen Reformbestrebungen an die Öffentlichkeit trat, war Erasmus von Rotterdam (1466-1536) schon viele Jahre lang eine der prägenden Persönlichkeiten im Zeitalter des Humanismus. Er prägte nicht nur das Denken der europäischen Intellektuellen, sein Einfluss reichte bis in die Fürstenhäuser und höchste klerikale Kreise seiner Zeit. Die Reformation ist ohne diese herausragenden Renaissance-Gelehrten folglich nicht zu verstehen. Seine humanistischen Schriften, seine Herausgaben der Kirchenväter, seine Satiren wie das »Lob der Torheit« und seine theologischen Texte haben breite Wirksamkeit entfaltet. Seine umfassende Revision des Neuen Testaments, sein »Novum testamentum«, kann als ein Begründer der modernen Bibelexegese gelten. Die Biographie dieses großen humanistischen Gelehrten aus der Feder des niederländischen Kulturhistorikers Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) ist ein »Klassiker« der geschichtswissenschaftlichen Literatur. Sie liegt nun in einer zweiten Auflage der Übersetzung von Hartmut Sommer vor.…
