Book Description
Erasmus' Familiar Colloquies grew from a small collection of phrases, sentences, and snatches of dialogue written in Paris about 1497 to help his private pupils improve their command of Latin. Twenty years later the material was published by Johann Froben (Basel 1518). It was an immediate success and was reprinted thirty times in the next four years. For the edition of March 1522 Erasmus began to add fully developed dialogues, and a book designed to improve boys' use of Latin (and their deportment) soon became a work of literature for adults, although it retained traces of its original purposes. The final Froben edition (March, 1533) had about sixty parts, most of them dialogues. It was in the last form that the Colloquies were read and enjoyed for four centuries. For modern readers it is one of the best introductions to European society of the Renaissance and Reformation periods, with lively descriptions of daily life and provocative discussions of political, religious, social, and literary topics, presented with Erasmus's characteristic wit and verve. Each colloquy has its own introduction and full explanatory, historical, and biographical notes. Volumes 39 and 40 of the Collected Works of Erasmus series - Two-volume set.

Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty Two Select Colloquies: Pleasantly Representing Several Superstitious Levities That Were Crept Into the Church of Rome in His Days Roger l'estrange (or R. L.s. As he liked to call himself) could have chosen no better author to translate, in justifi cation of himself, than Erasmus, and no better book than the Colloquies. Not that there is any close resemblance between the two men, but that l'estrange, a lifelong lover of exchanging blows, held himself for the moment, what Erasmus never ceased to be, an enemy of fanaticism. Of the heavy weapons, which served l'estrange for the combat, Erasmus knew nothing. The most that can be said of him is that he forged the weapons, which others put to a use, of which he disapproved. He was a student, a man of ease and of the world, not a fighter, and though he would not suppress his opinions, he had no intention to go to the stake for them. He could not in any circumstances have grown into a pamphleteer. He preferred reason to passion; he put the growth of wisdom before violence. He stayed always within the limits of the Church he never wavered in his allegiance to Rome; and while he held himself free to criticize whatever abuses he observed, he had no desire to destroy the system in which he had been brought up. He was one who loved learning for its own sake, a quiet scholar, who left his study, not to engage in battle, but to indulge in the love of travel, which never left him. Above all, he disliked the noisy disputes of the theologians. Luther is no more to me, said he, than any stranger he might meet; and as for the man's books, I have not had time to turn over more than one or two pages. And yet it is pretended - so I am told that he had my help in his work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Desiderius Erasmus' humanist works were influential throughout Europe, in various areas of thought including theology, education, philology, and political theory. Exploiting Erasmus examines the legacy of Erasmus in England from the mid-sixteenth century to the overthrow of James II in 1688 and studies the various ways in which his works were received, manipulated, and used in religious controversies that threatened both church and state. In viewing movements and events such as the rise of anti-Calvinism, the religious politics leading to the English civil war, and the emergence of the Latitudinarians during the Restoration, Gregory D. Dodds provides a fascinating account not only of the reception and effects of Erasmus' works, but also of the early history of English Protestantism. Exploiting Erasmus offers a critical new angle for rethinking the theology and rhetoric of the time. It is a remarkable study of Erasmus' influence on issues of conformity, tolerance, war, and peace.
