About the author/work: Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus; 28 October c. 1466 – 12 July 1536 commonly known in English as Erasmus of Rotterdam or simply Erasmus was a Dutch Christian humanist Catholic priest and theologian educationalist satirist and philosopher. Through his works he is considered one of the most influential thinkers of the Northern Renaissance and one of the major figures of Dutch and Western culture. Erasmus was an important figure in classical scholarship who wrote in a spontaneous copious and natural Latin style. As a Catholic priest developing humanist techniques for working on texts he prepared pioneering new Latin and Greek scholarly editions of the New Testament and of the Church Fathers with annotations and commentary that were immediately and vitally influential in both the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Reformation. He also wrote On Free Will The Praise of Folly The Complaint of Peace Handbook of a Christian Knight On Civility in Children Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style and many other popular and pedagogical works. Erasmus lived against the backdrop of the growing European religious reformations. He developed a biblical humanistic theology in which he advocated the religious and civil necessity both of peaceable concord and of pastoral tolerance on matters of indifference. He remained a member of the Catholic Church all his life remaining committed to reforming the church from within. He promoted what he understood as the traditional doctrine of synergism which some prominent reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin rejected in favour of the doctrine of monergism. His influential middle-road approach disappointed and even angered partisans in both camps. Colloquies Latin title Colloquia familiaria is one of the many works of the "Prince of Christian Humanists" Desiderius Erasmus. First published in 1518 as Latin dialogues for schoolboy exercises the work expanded over the following decades with witty but more serious and controversial content. Among other things the pages ".held up contemporary religious practices for examination in a more serious but still pervasively ironic tone" Source: Wiki Elzeviriana / Elzevir hardcover
