Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Erasmus: With Historical Remarks on the State of Literature Between the Tenth and Sixteenth Centuries But, in addition to these spoils of Greece, the Romans possessed in a high degree of excellence, a science, which, though it conduces more than any to public and private happiness, had been totally disregarded by the Greeks. To them, Jurisprudence as a liberal pursuit, was unknown their legal instruments and forensic proceedings were drawn up by a description of persons in little estimation among them, called pragmatists, or practitioners; but the knowledge of the laws of their country was never followed by them, as an occupation conferring importance and cele brity. Among the Romans, jurisprudence was always highly esteemed; it was studied on the most liberal principles, professed by the most distinguished persons, and led to the highest honours of the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of Erasmus: Lectures Delivered in the Universities of Oxford and London The period of the Transalpine Renaissance corre sponds roughly with the life of Erasmus (1466 1536) from the days when Northern scholars began to win fame for themselves in reborn Italy, until the width of the humanistic outlook was narrowed and the progress of the reawakened studies overwhelmed by the tornado of the Reformation. The aim of these lectures is not so much to draw the outlines of the Renaissance in the North as to present sketches of the world through which Erasmus passed, and to view it as it appeared to him and to some of his contemporaries, famous or obscure. And firstly of the generation that pre ceded him in the wide but undefined region known then as Germany. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Erasmus Le clerc, whilst he was concerned in publishing an Edition of the Works of Erasmus at Leyden, drew up his Life, in French, collected principally from his Letters, and inserted it in the Bibliotheque Choisie, and had the pleasure to find that it was favourably received by the Public. It is so performed, in the main, that I could not hope to do it in a better manner, and was not inclined to do it in another manner. It is therefore taken, as a ground-work to build upon, and is translated, not superstitiously and closely, but with much freedom, and with more attention to things than to words. I found his way of thinking and judging, for the most part, correspondent with mine; and I have seldom had occasion to declare a dissent from him. But at the same time continual additions are made, not only with relation to the history of those days, but to the life of Erasmus, especially where Le Clerc grew more remiss, either wearied with the task, or called off from these to other labours.

Download or read book Erasmus Luther written by Robert H. Murray and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Erasmus Luther: Their Attitude to Toleration The aim of this book is to consider the attitude of Erasmus and Luther to the problem of toleration. The history of solutions of this problem has always fascinated me, and is never far from my thoughts. life in Ireland inevitably suggests its study, for the mainspring of the troubled conditions of her being is the lack of the spirit which makes for the advance of toleration. Since 1902 I have been steadily gathering books on this subject: Lord Acton's great library naturally was of invaluable aid in forming such a collection. I have commenced my history of the growth of toleration with the year 1492, because it seems to me to mark the dividing-line between the mediaeval and the modem world. Part of one of the chapters, entitled "Utopian Toleration," appeared in the Edinburgh Review January 1914. As I was pursuing my researches the figures of Erasmus and Luther stood out so prominently that it seemed to me that to devote to them a separate volume would be the only way to give them adequate attention. When one is working at a vast subject, one invariably accumulates ideas and facts outside the main scope. I have, for example, gathered ideas and facts on the large share taken by the conception of natural law in the sixteenth century, the different effects of the Universities on opinion in Germany, France, and England during the same period, the shape that the conception of the Invisible Church assumed in the minds of men from 1510 to 1550, the sixteenth-century growth of scepticism, literary and scientific, and the like. In all these subjects I have tried to supply the background, for one great weakness in histories of thought is that for the most part they have been written, as it were, in vacuo. We must bear in mind the course of the relationship between the thought and the circumstance of the age. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Erasmus, Vol. 1 of 2: His Life and Character; As Shown in His Correspondence and Works An attempt to do over again that which has been already done, is naturally thought to require some justification, and the justification almost inevitably takes the form of a disparagement of previous labourers in the same field - a disparagement which sometimes brings a severe but just retribution on the head of the new comer. The present writer is fortunately spared from taking any such invidious task upon his own shoulders. The standard lives of Erasmus in English are those of Butler and Jortin, the former of which Dean Milman, in his essay on Erasmus, has pronounced to be "a neat and terse, but meagre and unsatisfactory abstract" of Burigni's work.

Download or read book The Colloquies of Erasmus Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Desiderius Erasmus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colloquies of Erasmus, Vol. 1 This is a modest and fair account of Bailey's work. The chief peculiarity of his version is its reproduction of the idiomatic and proverbial Latinisms, and generally of the classical phrases and allusions in which Erasmus abounds, in corresponding or analogous English forms. Bailey had acquired, perhaps from his lexicographical studies, a great command of homely and colloquial English; the words and phrases by which he frequently represents rather than construes Erasmus' text have perhaps in many instances not less piquancy than the original. Thus his translation, as a piece of racy English, has a certain independent value of its own, and may be read with interest even by those who are familiar with the original.

Download or read book Selections from Erasmus written by Erasmus Erasmus and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Erasmus: Principally From His Epistles The selections in this volume are taken mainly from the Letters of Erasmus. Latin was to him a living language; and the easy straightforwardness with which he addresses himself to what he has to say, whether in narrating the events of every-day life or in developing more serious themes, makes his works suitable reading for beginners. To the rapidity with which he in variably wrote is due a certain laxity, principally in the use of moods and tenses; and his spelling is that of the Renaissance. These matters I have brought to some extent into conformity with classical usage and in a few other ways also I have taken necessary liberties with the text. In the choice of passages I have been guided for the most part by a desire to illustrate through them English life at a period of exceptional interest in our history. There has never been wanting a succession of persons who concerned themselves to chronicle the deeds of kings and the fortunes of war; but history only becomes intelligible when we can place these exalted events in their right setting by understanding what men both small and great were doing and thinking in their private lives. To Erasmus we owe much intimate knowledge of the age in which he lived and of none of his contemporaries has he given us more vivid pictures than of the great Englishmen, Henry VIII.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.
