He was known for his vigorous opposition to war, intolerance, and hypocrisy, and at the same time for irony and subtlety that could confuse his friends as well as his opponents. His ideas about language, society, scholarship, and religion influenced the rise of the Reformation and had a huge impact on the humanities, and that influence continues today. This book shows how an independent textual scholar was able, by the power of the printing press and his wits, to attain both fame and notoriety. Drawing on the immense wealth of recent scholarship devoted to Erasmus, Erasmus of Rotterdam is the first English-language popular biography of this crucial thinker in twenty years." 600 10 $a Erasmus, Desiderius, $d -1536. 600 17 $a Erasmus, Desiderius, $d -1536. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01817492 650 0 $a Scholars $z Netherlands $v Biography. 650 0 $a Humanists $z Netherlands $v Biography. 651 0 $a Netherlands $x Intellectual life $y 16th century. 650 6 $a Savants $z Pays-Bas $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Humanistes $z Pays-Bas $v Biographies. 651 6 $a Pays-Bas $x Vie intellectuelle $y 16e siecle. 650 7 $a PHILOSOPHY / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Humanists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963543 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Scholars. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01106878 651 7 $a Netherlands. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204034 648 7 $a 1500-1599 $2 fast 655 2 $a Biography 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Documents d'information. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781789144505 830 0 $a Renaissance lives. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022012.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE91CBDAEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
