This volume comprises Erasmus' correspondence during the final two
years of his life, June 1534-August 1536. In the public sphere it
was a time of dramatic events: the reconquest of the duchy
Wurttemberg from its Austrian occupiers; the siege and destruction
of the Anabaptist "kingdom" at Munster; Charles V's great victory
at Tunis; and the resumption of the Habsburg-Valois wars in Italy.
In the private sphere, these were years of deteriorating health,
thoughts of impending death, and the loss of close friends
(including Thomas Fisher and Thomas More, both executed by Henry
VIII). At the same time, however, Erasmus managed to publish his
longest book, Ecclesiastes, and to make arrangements, in his final
will, for his considerable wealth to be spent for charitable
purposes after his death.
