1925. Also the pictures of Holbein etched in the author's time, to
which are added Mr. Angarola's conception of the period and
drawings by way of contemporary comment by Gene Markey. The Praise
of Folly is the best known work of the greatest of the renaissance
humanists, Erasmus of Rotterdam. Originally meant for private
circulation, it scourges the abuses and follies of the various
classes of society, especially of the Church. It is a deliberate
attempt to discredit the Church and its satire and stinging comment
on ecclesiastical conditions are not intended as a healing medicine
but a deadly blow. It ends with a straightforward and touching
statement of the Christian ideals which Erasmus shared notably with
his English friends, John Colet and Thomas More. See other titles
