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.

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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Erasmus, His Life and Character, Vol. 2 of 2: As Shown in His Correspondence and Works The time, in truth, demanded one of a far different stamp - one cast in a more heroic mould - who should not merely command the intellect, but master the heart of the great German people, and hurling defiance at the old Popedom, lead them on to smash into frag ments that splendid fabric of power and glory which fifteen centuries had reared and perfected. It is not from the learned and the wise, as was said in the beginning, and as many an example since compels us to confess, that the help of hlimanity comes. It is not usually they who live in kings' houses and bask in the smiles of the great, who can grasp and wield with effect those fundamental ideas by which the world is moved. Out of the heart of the people the great movements. Of humanity come. And the leader for whom the world was now waiting must be of the people and from them.

Download or read book Brand Luther written by Andrew Pettegree and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolutionary look at Martin Luther, the Reformation, and the birth of publishing, on the eve of the Reformation's 500th anniversary When Martin Luther posted his "theses" on the door of the Wittenberg church in 1517, protesting corrupt practices, he was virtually unknown. Within months, his ideas spread across Germany, then all of Europe; within years, their author was not just famous, but infamous, responsible for catalyzing the violent wave of religious reform that would come to be known as the Protestant Reformation and engulfing Europe in decades of bloody war. Luther came of age with the printing press, and the path to glory of neither one was obvious to the casual observer of the time. Printing was, and is, a risky business--the questions were how to know how much to print and how to get there before the competition. Pettegree illustrates Luther's great gifts not simply as a theologian, but as a communicator, indeed, as the world's first mass-media figure, its first brand. He recognized in printing the power of pamphlets, written in the colloquial German of everyday people, to win the battle of ideas. But that wasn't enough--not just words, but the medium itself was the message. Fatefully, Luther had a partner in the form of artist and businessman Lucas Cranach, who together with Wittenberg's printers created the distinctive look of Luther's pamphlets. Together, Luther and Cranach created a product that spread like wildfire--it was both incredibly successful and widely imitated. Soon Germany was overwhelmed by a blizzard of pamphlets, with Wittenberg at its heart; the Reformation itself would blaze on for more than a hundred years. Publishing in advance of the Reformation's 500th anniversary, Brand Luther fuses the history of religion, of printing, and of capitalism--the literal marketplace of ideas--into one enthralling story, revolutionizing our understanding of one of the pivotal figures and eras in human history.

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.

Download or read book Life and Letters of Erasmus written by James Anthony Froude and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Erasmus: Lectures Delivered at Oxford 1893-4 The subject of these lectures was born at Rotterdam in 1467. Charles the Bold had just become Duke of Burgundy. Louis XI. was King of France. Philip de Commines will have told you about Charles and Louis. If not De Commines, you will have read about them in "Quentin Durward." Edward IV. had fought his way to the throne of England. Caxton was just setting up his printing-press, and Columbus was making adventurous voyages anywhere between Iceland and the tropics, observing the stars and meditating on the shape of the globe. The country in which Erasmus came into the world was the rival of Italy in commerce and art and learning. Antwerp was the mart of Western Europe. The towns in the Low Countries - Bruges, Ghent, Brussels, Amsterdam - were great manufacturing centres, inhabited by a dense population of industrious burghers and artisans, subjects of the Duchy of Burgundy, but tenacious of their liberties, and fierce in asserting them; governed by their own laws and their own representatives - a free people in the modern sense. If the mind of a man inherits its qualities from the stock to which he belongs, there was no likelier spot in Europe to be the birthplace of a vigorous independent thinker.

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.
