What Our Customers Say...

Description

Leather Binding

A new impression.

Twenty lectures by James Anthony Froude, ruminating on the life and letters of the Dutch philosopher Erasmus.

Erasmus was a Christian humanist, known as the greatest scholar of the Northern Renaissance. He wrote in a pure Latin style, and prepared new and important Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament. These editions raised influential questions that were dominant in the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation.

These fascinating lectures explore the life of Erasmus and the importance he has held in the centuries since his death.

Froude delivered these lectures at Oxford, where he was the Regius Professor of Modern History, in 1893 and 1894.
