Synopsis

The eminent Dutch historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) has a special sympathy for the complex, withdrawn personality of Erasmus and for his advocacy of intellectual and spiritual balance in a quarrelsome age. This biography is a classic work on the sixteenth-century scholar / humanist. Again available in paperback, this edition contains thirty-two illustrations and a selection of letters from Erasmus' vast correspondence. First published in 1924, this book was written as a companion piece to Huizinga's masterwork THE WANING OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
