Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty Two Select Colloquies: Pleasantly Representing Several Superstitious Levities That Were Crept Into the Church of Rome in His Days Erasmus, Desiderius (Gerrit Gerritsoon), illegitimate son of Gerrit Elias, b. Rotterdam, 1466. Ed. Deventer, Stein (where he took priest´s orders) and Paris. His life was spent at various of the European seats of learning, chiefly in England and at Padua, Basle, Louvain and Freiburg. Though the chief of the New Learning, and inimical to the Sorbonne, the stronghold of ecclesiastical teaching, he was attacked by the Lutherans for his refusal to throw in his lot with their leader, an attitude due to his intense dislike of any form of fanaticism. It was not until late in life that he was openly acnokwledged the leader of scholarship in Europe. He died at Basle in 1536. His chief works, in addition to his Letters, are Enchiridion Militis Christiani, Encomium Moriae, Colloquia, together with his editions of The New Testament and the Works of St. Jerome. L´estrange, Sir Roger (1616-1704). Ed. Cambridge. During his early life he was a strong Royalist adherent, and was imprisoned by the Parliamentary party from 1644-1648. Thereafter further Royalist intrigues led to his flight to Holland. He returned to England in 1653, and was for many years an agent of Charles II as well as a strong pro-monarchy pamphleteer. After the Restoration (1663), the King appointed him surveyor and licenser of the printing presses. He also founded several news-sheets. The Intelligencer, The News, and The City Mercury. He became M.P. for Winchester in 1685, and was in the same year knighted. He was deprived of office in 1689, and underwent several terms of imprisonment between this date and 1696. In addition to many pamphlets, his works include translations of Quevedo´s Visions (1667), Aesop´s Fables (1692) and Josephus´ Histories (1702).
