A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

This is a completely new translation - the first since Victorian times - to bring it into the new vernacular. Linguist Eleanor Merchant, BA (Oxon) MA (Lond), teaches the CELL MRes Latin course at Queen Mary College, University of London. She is also writing her doctoral thesis on 'Anglo-Latin Intersections in Sixteenth-Century England and Continental Europe', in particular through the biography and career of Laurence Humphrey. Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466/1469-1536) was a Dutch humanist, theologian and classical scholar. Using humanist techniques he prepared important new Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament which raised questions that would be influential in the Reformation. He also wrote The Praise of Folly, Handbook of a Christian Knight, Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style and many other works.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The first treatise in Western Europe on the moral and practical education of children was published in 1530 by an author who was outraged at the uncouth and undisciplined youth of his time. It is surprisingly relevant today!
