He lived during the Renaissance, a period characterised by a renewal of most concepts of knowledge and a return to the Greco-Roman sources of antiquity. He was born in Rotterdam (ca 1467) and died in Basel (1536). His intellectual popularity was such that as from the age of thirty, he was regularly the guest of Kings and Emperors.<\/p>\n

Today, his most famous work is In Praise of Folly<\/em>, which he wrote while riding back from his trip to Italy to England (1509). Before being an ironic pamphlet and an all-out attack on the behaviour of the religious or lay classes, his Praise<\/em> is first and foremost a gift to his friend Thomas More.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”top”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” row_content_width=”grid” content_text_aligment=”left”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”5534″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Erasmus defined himself as the defender of elegant Latin, the international language of his time, the reformer of traditional Christian values which he wanted to revitalize to bring about a more personal approach to God, and as one of the modernizers of the educational system through the publication of grammar books and text books, or the setting up of new schools such as the College of Three Languages in Leuven.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Erasmus was therefore a great neo-Latin writer, a committed theologian and an educational reformer.<\/p>\n
