SynopsisIn 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 light-as 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

Great selection, powerful translation
Small, portable, affordable, excellent selection of some of Desiderius Erasmus's best works. Some of it is abridged, but it does have the full text of In Praise of Folly. The translation is clear and gripping; much better than some older versions.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
