It also marked a turning point in the history of Western thinking about literary property. At once a singularly successful commercial product of the new printing industry and a repository of intellectual wealth, the Adages looks ahead to the development of copyright and back to an ancient philosophical tradition that ideas should be universally shared in the spirit of friendship. In this elegant and tightly argued book, Kathy Eden focuses on both the commitment to friendship and common property that Erasmus shares with his favorite philosophers-Pythagoras, Plato, and Christ-and the early history of private property that gradually transforms European attitudes concerning the right to copy. In the process she accounts for the peculiar shape of Erasmus' collection of more than 3,000 proverbs and provides insightful readings of such ancient philosophical and religious thinkers as Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Iamblichus, Tertullian, Basil, Jerome, and Augustine. 606 $aProverbs$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTradition (Philosophy)$xHistory 606 $aIntellectual property$xHistory 606 $aMaxims$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aProverbs$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTradition (Philosophy)$xHistory. 615 0$aIntellectual property$xHistory. 615 0$aMaxims$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 676 $a199/.492 700 $aEden$b Kathy$f1952-$0170834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452206803321 996 $aFriends hold all things in common$92463823 997 $aUNINA
