This volume includes Erasmus' correspondence for the months April
1532 to April 1533, a period in which he feared a religious civil
war in Germany. In his desire to move somewhere far enough from
Germany to be safe and yet not so far that an old man could not
undertake the journey, Erasmus eventually decided to accept the
invitation from Mary of Hungary, regent of the Netherlands, to
return to his native Brabant. In March 1533, the terms of Erasmus'
return were settled and in July they were formally approved by the
emperor. But by this time Erasmus' fragile health had already
declined to the point that he could not undertake the journey, and
he would never recover sufficiently to do so. The works published
in the months covered by this volume include the eighth,
much-enlarged edition of the Adagia, and the Explanatio symboli,
the catechism that delighted Erasmus' followers but gave Martin
Luther much ammunition for a brutal attack on him in his Epistola
de Erasmo Roterodamo of 1534.
