Duysend it depicts a standing Erasmus who looks through a telescope into a clouded sky; from a cloud comes the hand of God that bears the 'globus cruciger' corss-bearing orb in German Reichsapfel; the globe represents the earth and he who holds the globe owns the world.

From their earliest form of short models of Latin conversation and formulae of etiquette composed at Paris in 1497 for the use of some pupils and first printed in 1518 they grew into 'a rich and motley collection of dialogues each a master piece of literary form well-knit spontaneous convincing unsurpassed in lightness vivacity and fluent Latin each one a finished one-act play' Huizinga. The Colloquia full of witty and penetrating observations on ordinary day-to-day happenings as well as on the basic weakness of Church and society are an invaluable mine of information about 16th century customs institutions and social problems. Besides their success as a schoolbook was unrivaled and the stream of editions and translations flowed almost uninterruptedly down to modern times'.
