In 1520, the reading public witnessed the eruption of a simmering
conflict between Erasmus, the foremost advocate of the new biblical
humanism, and Edward Lee, a younger scholar at the University of
Louvain and spokesman for the traditionalists in matters of
biblical interpretation and church discipline. When Erasmus
(perhaps unconsciously) subsumed criticisms Lee had sent to him of
his 1516 Annotations on the New Testament into the second edition
(1519) without properly crediting their source, Lee resorted to
publication of his collection of criticisms. Erasmus responded
immediately with the Apologia which is neither arrogant nor biting
nor angry nor aggressive, and which responds to the two invectives
of Edward Lee, describing his version of the history of the dispute
with Lee, and less than two months later produced Responses to
Lee's criticisms. This new volume in the Collected Works of Erasmus
series contains the first-ever English translations of the Apology
and the Responses. These two pieces display Erasmus the humanist in
the thick of academic turmoil, deploying all the rhetorical weapons
at his command. The volume is an entertaining and informative look
into Erasmus as a scholar and as a man. Volume 72 of the Collected
Works of Erasmus series.
