Preface
This volume is a revised and amplified edition of a work bearing the same title that I first published as a Harper Torchbook in 1965. It was subsequently republished with slight revision (and a generous Foreword by Craig Thompson) by Fordham University Press in 1975- This present version, however, includes two major changes and additions. I have replaced my former introductory essay on "Erasmus and Reform" with a short biography of Erasmus that I originally wrote for European Writers,1 and I have added as Selection X the translation of Erasmus' Letter to Carondelet, the preface to his 1523 edition of St. Hilary of Poitiers, that first appeared in my Six Essays on Erasmus.2 I have also expanded the notes and updated the bibliographical references. My object, of course, remains the same: to acquaint the reader at first hand with the life and thought of a truly central figure in the religious drama of the early sixteenth century, and to clarify both the character of Erasmian reform and the role of Erasmus in the religious crisis. I hope that this new edition will more amply serve that purpose.
My biographical Introduction as well as Erasmus' own autobiographical sketch (Selection I) and the first biography of the great humanist by his friend and colleague Beatus Rhenanus (Selection II) set the stage for the selected writings that follow, and I have keyed all the Selections in this volume into my Introduction. Erasmus' Compendium vitae and Beatus' Life of Erasmus, it should be noted, are prime documentary sources for his life. In understanding Erasmus, the tone and thrust in Beatus' LifeErasmus as Christian scholar and reformerare especially interesting. The emphasis in the other eight Selections is also on his reform aims and on his position in the religious controversy that in his age disrupted the Church. They cover the years 1515 to 1523, the decisive years in the great Reformation crisis, and they accurately reveal, I believe, Erasmus' response to the problem of reform and within that context to the widespread controversy that so rapidly and dramatically developed. This is not the whole story of
