    Erasmus is commonly regarded as one of the greatest scholars of the northern Renaissance, and a noted Humanist. This is his Colloquies, or his Colloquia which is a collection of dialogues on a wide variety of subjects. They were written in an easy style and humour so that students could understand them.
