‎ERASMUS DESIDERIUS; TRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND COMMENTARY BY CLARENCE H. MILLER WITH AN AFTERWORD BY WILLIAM H. GASS‎

‎The Praise Of Folly‎

‎Yale University Press New Haven and London: 2003. . Softcover. Brand new book. First published in Paris in 1511 The Praise of Folly hasenjoyed enormous and highly controversial success from the author's lifetime down to our own day.It hasno rival except perhaps Thomas More's Utopia as the most intense and lively presentation of the literary social and theological aims and methods of Northern Humanism. Clarence H. Miller's highly praised translation of The Praise of Folly based on the definitive Latin text echoes Erasmus' own lively style while retaining the nuances of the original text. In his introduction Miller places the work in the context of Erasmus as humanist and theologian. In a new afterword William H. Gass playfully considers the meaning or meanings of folly and offers fresh insights into one of the great books of Western literature. Clarence H. Miller now emeritus is Dorothy McBride Orthwein Professor of English Literature at St. Louis University. He served as executive editor of the fifteen-volume Yale Edition of The Complete Works of St. Thomas More and is the translator of More's Utopia published by Yale University Press. William H. Gass whose most recent novel is The Tunnel is one of America's foremost living writers. "An eminently reliable and fully annotated edition based on the Latin text."�Library Journal "Exciting and brilliant this is likely to be the definitive translation of The Praise of Folly intoEnglish."�Richard J. Schoeck Yale University Press, New Haven and London: 2003. paperback‎

‎THE PRAISE OF FOLLY.‎

‎London.: 7 Booksellers 1740. Rebacked spine and corners in old leather new embossed title on spine. All pages uniformly browned. Should have 2 frontis portraits Erasmus and More but the portrait of Erasmus is missing that of More is chipped on margin 20x12mm. Prelims to xiv are missing then follow pp iii-vi . My guess - apparently a mis-collation. These last pages contain many ink corrections in a very old hand looking like proof corrections. The date in ink - 1819- on title p is over the print date of 1740 which is subtracted to give " 79 years ago" : The significance of the dates is a mystery. 184pp Illustrations which are partially MISSING are Figs 2 33 and 46 and another on p69 . Some pages are frittered lightly rubbed to extremities browned internally but fairly clean. Kennet White 1660-1728 historian and Bishop of Peterborough translated several Latin works into English most notably Erasmus' Moriae Encomium which was published as Wit Against Wisdom INCLUDES loose 4pp of Commentary on the importance of this work. D E was born 1466 died 1536. Sixth edition. Full-Calf. Good/No dustwrap as issued. Illus. by Holbeine Hans. 161x25p6mm. Collectable. 7 Booksellers hardcover‎

‎ERASMUS Desiderius.‎

‎The Praise of Folie.‎

‎London: in the house of Thomas Berthelet 1569 recte 1549. One of the most notable works of the Renaissance Small quarto 181 x 130 mm. 19th-century brown crushed morocco by Jenkins & Cecil their stamp to foot of front free endpaper verso boards ruled in gilt with crowned thistle and floral tools at corners banded spine with title gilt and rules and tools in six compartments turn-ins with elaborate tooling in gilt marbled endpapers gilt edges. Housed in a dark brown quarter morocco solander box by the Chelsea Bindery. Title printed within elaborate allegorical woodcut frame two elaborate 10-line woodcut initials publisher's device on last leaf verso; black letter text with quotations in italic and proper nouns in Roman types. Outer leaves slightly browned small paper repairs to inner margin of last leaf text not affected an excellent copy. First edition in English. "The Praise of Folly was written when Erasmus was staying in the house of Thomas More in the winter of 1509-10. Its title is a delicate and complimentary play on the name of his host: its subject matter is a brilliant biting satire on the folly to be found in all walks of life Â… Whenever tyranny or absolute power threatened The Praise of Folly was re-read and reprinted. It is a sign of what was in the air that Milton found it in every hand at Cambridge in 1628. His inherent scepticism has led people to call Erasmus the father of 18th century rationalism but his rationalist attitude is that of perfect common sense to which tyranny and fanaticism were alike abhorrent" PMM. First published in Paris in 1511 the Moriae Encomium was reprinted in a large number of editions in its original form before any vernacular translation was published. Pforzheimer suggests that in light of the intended Latinate audience the free movement of Latin books and unbound sheets and the contemporary preference at least in England for continental printing a translation was simply not required. Thomas Chaloner 1520-1565 the Cambridge-educated English translator strove to remain faithful to Erasmus's tight lean style resulting in a work of lasting importance that had a very considerable influence on English literature in general and more particularly on Shakespeare. Chaloner's text appears the direct source for monologues in As You Like It and The Tempest and analysis of Shakespeare's verbal usage has identified several instances where a word from Chaloner is used in Hamlet and in few if any other instances. The first edition of Chaloner's translation is genuinely rare: Miller is his 1965 census lists 14 copies in institutions worldwide two are defective but makes clear the difficulty of distinguishing the first and second editions and adds the additional difficulty of the misprint in the original STC entry that has created variants that are really ghosts. It seems probable that there are further institutional holdings of this edition but apparent absences at the Folger Library the Getty and the New York Public Library and the dearth of copies at auction since the 1950s indicate the work's rarity.
