'The name of Erasmus will never perish' --Appendices --Notes --IndexThe name Erasmus of Rotterdam conjures up a golden age of scholarly integrity and the disinterested pursuit of knowledge, when learning could command public admiration without the need for authorial self-promotion. Lisa Jardine, however, shows that Erasmus self-consciously created his own reputation as the central figure of the European intellectual world. Erasmus himself-the historical as opposed to the figural individual-was a brilliant, maverick innovator, who achieved little formal academic recognition in his own lifetime. What Jardine offers here is not only a fascinating study of Erasmus but also a bold account of a key moment in Western history, a time when it first became possible to believe in the existence of something that could be designated "European thought."Authors, Latin (Medieval and modern)NetherlandsBiographyAuthors and publishersNetherlandsHistory16th centuryAuthorshipHistory16th centuryHumanistsNetherlandsNetherlandsIntellectual life16th centuryNetherlandsfastAuthors, Latin (Medieval and modern)Authors and publishersHistoryAuthorshipHistoryHumanists878.0409Jardine Lisa160429Jardine Lisa160429MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788173203321Erasmus, man of letters783444UNINA
