Paris:: Jodocus Badius Ascensius 1524. FIRST COMPLETE BADIUS EDITION. Quarto:. 19.8 x 14.5 cm. CXX leaves. Collation: a-p8 Bound in contemporary limp vellum lightly soiled. The contents are in very good condition with a few pencil annotations and light soiling to the title page. With Badius' device of his print shop the “Praelum Ascensianum†showing printers working a press on the title page. With large attractive crible initials and smaller charming historiated initials. Passages in Greek. A fine unsophisticated copy of this rare edition. From the personal library of Bob and Emily De Graaf. The rare 1524 Parisian “Praise of Folly†printed by Erasmus’ friend the scholar-printer Badius Ascensius who printed the first authorized edition in 1512. This edition contains all of the supplementary texts found in the Froben edition of 1516 including the dedicatory letter to Thomas More whose name Erasmus plays upon cleverly in the title of the work; and the letter to Martin Dorp in which Erasmus explains his motives for writing the “Moriaâ€: “My aim in the ‘Folly’ was exactly the same as in my other works. Only the presentation was different. In the ‘Enchiridion’ I simply outlined the pattern of a Christian life. In my little book the ‘Education of a Christian Prince’ I offered plain advice on how to instruct a prince. In my ‘Panegyric’ I did the same under the veil of eulogy as I had done elsewhere explicitly. And in the ‘Folly’ I expressed the same ideas as in the ‘Enchiridion’ but in the form of a joke.†“The ‘Praise of Folly’ is Erasmus’ most famous and controversial work… In Erasmus’ lifetime the ‘Moria’ was condemned in 1527 by the theologians of Paris for its attacks on faith and morality and again in 1533 by the Franciscans who found it full of heresies. The officials of the Sorbonne put it on the list of condemned books in 1542 and 1543 a list that was the basis of the Tridentine Index of 1564… “The ‘Moria’ may start as a learned joke to amuse a fellow humanist Thomas More but it moves into sharp criticism of contemporary mores and ends with a plea for a return to the Christianity of the Gospels… Erasmus writes in a Lucianic spirit of irreverent burlesque of the gods of classical mythology and light-hearted amusement at the irrationality of mankind. Folly argues that she is all that is natural youthful fecund and happy and that life would be intolerable if it were not ruled by civilized conventions which necessitate a degree of humbug and illusion. By contrast the Stoic ideal rational man is a ‘kind of marble statue of a man devoid of sense and any sort of human feeling.’ She then shifts her viewpoint and lists the people who enjoy her benefits in so far as they try to preserve their illusions or are happy in their ignorance self-deception or self-love. She even adds superstitious piety to alchemy gambling and the nobility’s obsession with hunting and extravagant building… “Next Erasmus starts to deliver a sharp and often bitter attack on all the victims of blind folly those who are deaf to the voice of true religion and lacking the gentler Christian virtues among whom are sycophants self-seekers money-makers pedants scholastics lawyers theologians superstitious worshippers of images and relics courtiers and kings worldly monks and irreligious pontiffs. This section culminates in a savage thrust at Pope Julius II the bellicose pope. The keen wit and ingenuity of the satire can be highly entertaining but there is no note of gaiety now. As Erasmus surveys the gulf between the Church and the ‘true philosophy of Christ’ he moves into the final section where the alternative offered to barren scholasticism is the vision of reality taken from Plato and folly in the sense used by Saint Paul that of receptivity to the Christian message by the ‘fool in Christ.’ All irony is dropped until the final short epilogue when Folly light-heartedly cuts short her ‘hotch-potch of words’; this is a direct and simply worded account of Erasmus’ personal belief moving into an exposition of the Neoplatonist concept that the soul’s ascent to beatitude ends in ecstasy a form of folly which is its supreme fulfillment.â€Betty Radice CWE Vol. 27 pp. 78 ff.

Basel: and Strasbourg: and Paris:: Io. Froben and Excusum per Renatum Beck in aedibus zum Thiergarten and Jean Petit In vico Sancti Iacobi 1515 and 1515 and 1513. THIRD FROBEN EDITION of the "Praise of Folly". The two prior editions also appeared in 1515. Written in 1509 as a visitor's gift to Thomas More whose name -Morus- was so aptly similar to the Greek "moros" folly the "Moriae Encomium" was first printed by Gilles de Gourmont at Paris probably in 1511. The first of the Froben editions appeared in 1515. This copy is bound with the "Germania" of Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini Pope Pius II together with the "Responsio" of Jakob Wimpfeling; and an edition of Lactantius edited by Gilles de Maizières and printed at Paris by Jean Petit. Large Quarto:. 20.2 x 15 cm. 3 works bound in one volume: I. Piccolomini: i-iv A-B4 C8 D-E4 F8 G-H4 I8 K-L4 M8 N-O4 P6. II. Lactantius: A6 B4 a-z8/4 A-D8/4 E6 F-N8/4 O6 P4. III. "Praise of Folly": a-h4 a-z4 A-B4 C6 Bound in contemporary quarter alum-tawed pigskin over wooden boards with working clasps and catches. The pigskin is tooled in blind with repeating vines and floral rolls. The text and binding are beautifully preserved. The contents are fresh and bright with wide margins and a number of deckled edges. Excellent. The "Germania" has a fine title page printed in red and black and surrounded by a fine woodcut border. The printer's beautiful device by Hans Baldung Grien appears on the final leaf. The Lactantius has Jean Petit's device on the title page. The text is adorned with fine floriated criblé initials. A contemporary reader has annotated the "De Opificio Dei" densely in Latin and added a long Latin poem to the final two leaves. The "Praise of Folly" has a fine Holbein border with the decapitation of John the Baptist in the lower register and affine woodcut border with a fool by Urs Graf on the contents leaf. This edition includes the original dedicatory letter to Thomas More whose name Erasmus plays upon cleverly in the title of the work; and the letter to Martin Dorp in which Erasmus explains his motives for writing the "Moria": "My aim in the 'Folly' was exactly the same as in my other works. Only the presentation was different. In the 'Enchiridion' I simply outlined the pattern of a Christian life. In my little book the 'Education of a Christian Prince' I offered plain advice on how to instruct a prince. In my 'Panegyric' I did the same under the veil of eulogy as I had done elsewhere explicitly. And in the 'Folly' I expressed the same ideas as in the 'Enchiridion' but in the form of a joke." The Froben edition is augmented with a number of other texts See the final paragraphs of this description.Praise of Folly:"The 'Praise of Folly' is Erasmus' most famous and controversial work… In Erasmus' lifetime the 'Moria' was condemned in 1527 by the theologians of Paris for its attacks on faith and morality and again in 1533 by the Franciscans who found it full of heresies.

In response to a letter from the Bishop of Mainz lamenting the miserable state of the Holy Roman Empire Piccolomini wrote his "Germania" based on Tacitus' own in which he demonstrates that the present high level of German culture as compared with the barbarous past as presented by Tacitus is an accomplishment of the Church. This edition includes the important response by Jakob Wimpfeling in defense of the ancestors of the Germans.Additional "Moria" texts:The Froben editions of the 'Moria' contain in addition to Erasmus' main text two ancient examples of the mock-encomium Seneca's "Ludus de Morte Claudii Caesaris" and Synesius of Cyrene's "De Laudibus Calvitii" "In Praise of Baldness" translated from the Greek by the Englishman John Phreas d. 1465. In his introductory letter to Thomas More Erasmus cites both the "Ludus" and the "Praise of Baldness" in a pre-emptive defense against those who will object to his literary frivolity "levitas et ludicrum argumenti" pp. 102-104 in this edition. The text of the "Moria" is accompanied by the commentary of Gerard Listrius with assistance from Erasmus. I. "Germania": BM STC German p. 701 = Proctor 10307. Not in Adams. Panzer VI.75.410.

Mainz:: Johann Schöffer 1521. ONE OF 9 PRINTINGS all in 1521. Place and printer from VD16. Quarto:. 18.5 x 14 cm. 8 pp. Collation: AA4 Bound in modern wrappers. . A good copy with a light dampstain to the upper corner. Occ. light soiling. With a fine woodcut title page border. A German translation of Erasmus’ annotation on Mathew 11:29 taken from his “In Novum Testamentum annotationes†in which Erasmus differentiates between the divine order and human positive law. He laments that people ignore the commands of God and follow human law instead: ‘Christ’s law is inviting and easy but it becomes onerous and difficult through the addition of human prescriptions and dogmas.’ The verses were often used in Protestant propaganda in the early years of the Reformation hence the need for a vernacular version of Erasmus’ text.

Erasmus Desiderius.
. De duplici copia verborum ac rerum commentarij duo
Strasbourg: Matthias Schürer 1514-1515. First edition of some material. Hard Cover. Very Good/Several related works of Erasmus collected in one binding including the first edition of Parabolae sive similia a reported 1513 edition of Parabolae was a longstanding bibliographical error and the first appearance of Erasmus's farewell letter to Jakob Wimpfeling Epistle 305. In 1509 the year Mattias Schürer completed his apprenticeship and opened his own print shop he struck an unauthorized edition of Erasmus's Adagia purloined from the first edition of 1500. Anger on the author's part would have been justified. Yet in spite of this commercial indiscretion Erasmus favored Schurer with a warm supportive and lasting friendship. In October 1514 he gave Schürer the manuscript of "Parabolae sive similia" which Schürer decided to publish in tandem with a reprint of De Copia although there are copies extant of Parabolae bound alone. It is fitting that Parabolae should be bound with Adagia in this copy since it expands on the earlier work's idea of compiling classical maxims. Parabolae that is The Parables is a catalogue of didactic similes gleaned from Plutarch Seneca and Pliny who almost never used similes in his own text. The Adagia is also the subject of Erasmus's letter to Wimpfeling whom he thanks for recommending it for a school text. Schürer's edition of Adagia of 1515 is the first to contain the printer's own "table of proverbs" to function as a key to the collection. In all Schürer published 57 editions of 15 titles by Erasmus in the five year period from 1514 to 1519 the year he died. Quarto 21 cm three parts in one volume: I: 6 73 6 leaves; II: 56 leaves; III: 4 57 7 leaves. Numerous five- and six-line "criblé" woodcut initials on black ground decorated with arabesques and figures many of them carefully rubricated. Second title page with woodcut architectural border lightly rubricated. Printer's "usui studiosorum" device on last printed page rubricated. Bound in contemporary or 17th-century blind-stamped alum tawed pigskin over wooden boards with a Cardinal's arms gilt on both boards. Clasps and catches preserved straps renewed. Some small worming at spine ends. First title leaf somewhat toned and soiled. Occasional marginalia in contemporary or early hand. Contemporary ownership inscription on title page.

Erasmus Desiderius; "HM. Gent" translator Henry More or Henry Munday H. M.
The Colloquies or Familiar Discourses of Desiderius Erasmus of Roterdam Rendered into English
London: E.T. and R.H. for H. Brome B. Tooke and T. Sawbridge 1671. First edition in English of the complete Colloquia Familiaria of Erasmus first published in 1518 and expanded by Erasmus over the next fifteen years a lively collection of Latin dialogues that found a readership far beyond the Renaissance schoolroom. Originally intended to model colloquial conversation for students of Latin the dialogues feature pointed free-thinking exchanges on modern political religious and philosophical questions. In "Of the Abbot and Learned Woman" an ignorant abbot tries and fails to get the better of the classically educated Magdalia a character almost certainly based on Thomas More's eldest daughter: "I think thou art some sophistress thou protest so wittily." Magdalia: "I will not tell thee what I think thou art." And later: "I have often heard it usually spoken that a wise woman is twice a fool." Magdalia: "Indeed it useth to be said so but by fools." The Colloquia Familiaria was widely read and debated across Europe drawing immediate notice for its anticlerical satire: "its influence on the dialogues of Reformation Germany and Tudor England is a critical commonplace" Zlatar Reformation Fictions 11. The original purpose of the Colloquies as a text for teaching Latin postponed its direct translation; this first complete English edition was published more than 150 years after the work's first appearance. The edition opens with a short life of Erasmus and concludes with the first appearance in English of De utilitate colloquiorum Erasmus's 1526 defense of the Colloquies published after the Sorbonne condemned the book for impiety. In response Erasmus makes a case for the educational value of his dialogues' humor: "I cannot tell whether any thing be learned more successfully than that which is learned in playing." Despite his efforts the Colloquies would remain on the Papal Index of banned books through the end of the nineteenth century. Wing E-3190; PMM 53. A very good copy of a humanist landmark in a handsome contemporary binding. Octavo measuring 6.5 x 4.25 inches: 8 555 1.
