Nathan Ron argues that Erasmus was devoted to Christian Eurocentrism and not as tolerant as he is often portrayed. Erasmus' thought is situated vis-à-vis the thought of contemporaries such as the cosmographer and humanist Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini who became Pope Pius II; the philosopher, scholar, and Cardinal, Nicholas of Cusa; and the Dominican missionary and famous defender of the Native Americans, Bartolomé Las Casas. Additionally, the relatively moderate attitude toward Islam which was demonstrated by Michael Servetus, Sebastian Franck, and Sebastian Castellio is analyzed in comparison with Erasmus' harsh attitude toward Islam/Turks. 606 $aTheology 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aChristian Theology 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 615 0$aTheology. 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 14$aChristian Theology. 615 24$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 676 $a199.492 676 $a261.092 700 $aRon$b Nathan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0854053 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392729003321 996 $aErasmus and the ?Other?$91974527 997 $aUNINA
