This is a biography of Erasmus (1469-1536), one of the most famous Humanist of his time-a great scholar of the northern Renaissance, a pacifist, a contrarian, and the compiler of the first edition of the Greek New Testament to be printed and distributed. He hated bigotry, desired freedom and independence, and was called "the man who laid the egg that Luther hatched." He is similar to the liberal minds of our own times. A remarkable, page-turning biography. A historical, collectible book. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
