The Praise of Folly is perhaps his best-known work. Originally written to amuse his friend Sir Thomas More, this satiric celebration of pleasure, youth, and intoxication irreverently pokes fun at the pieties of theologians and the foibles that make us all human, while ultimately reaffirming the value of Christian ideals. No other book displays quite so completely the transition from the medieval to the modern world, and Erasmus's wit, wisdom, and critical spirit have lost none of their timeliness today.This Princeton Classics edition of The Praise of Folly features a new foreword by Anthony Grafton that provides an essential introduction to this iridescent and enduring masterpiece. 410 0$aPrinceton Classics 606 $aFolly$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aFolly$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 615 0$aFolly 615 0$aFolly$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a879.7 700 $aErasmus$b Desiderius$0176189 702 $aHudson$b Hoyt Hopewell 702 $aGrafton$b Anthony 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788131803321 996 $aThe praise of Folly$93791290 997 $aUNINA
