Besides the celebrated Praise of Folly, Robert M. Adams has
included the political "Complaint of Peace," the brutal antipapal
satire "Julius Excluded from Heaven," two versions of Erasmus’s
important preface to the Latin translation of the New Testament,
and a selection both serious and comic of his Colloquies and his
letters. Adams has made these selections to emphasize the
humane, rather than the doctrinaire, side of the first and arguably
greatest humanist. Critical commentary is provided in essays by H.
R. Trevor-Roper, R. S. Allen, J. Huizinga, Mikhail Bakhtin, Paul
Oskar Kristeller, and Robert M. Adams. Also included are a
Chronology of Erasmus’s life and a Selected Bibliography.
