Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam
Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, published in 1899 in the Heroes of the Reformation series, is a biography by Ephraim Emerton, professor of ecclesiastical history at Harvard. Emerton follows Erasmus from his schooling and unwilling years in a monastery through his studies in Paris, his visits to England and friendship with Thomas More and John Colet, his stay in Italy, and the books that made him famous, from the Adages and the Enchiridion to The Praise of Folly and his Greek New Testament. The later chapters examine his uneasy relation to the Reformation, his quarrel with Hutten, his debate with Luther over free will, and his last years in Basel and Freiburg. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
