Desiderius Erasmus
The Praise of FollyAuthor(s): Desiderius Erasmus\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Prometheus Books, United States\nImprint: Prometheus Books\nISBN-13: 9780879758851, 978-0879758851\nSynopsis\nIn the tradition of \""fool literature\"" produced by the ferment of new ideas that directly preceded the Protestant Reformation, Dutch priest, humanist, and scholar Desiderius Erasmus [tel] composed \""The Praise of Folly\"" in 1509. Under Folly's mask, Erasmus boldly attacked the abuses of church and state, and pilloried the faults of those he saw around him: idle superstition, pedantry, religious hypocrisy, and human foolishness. In this elegant translation from the Latin by John Wilson, the reader can savour a great work of satire, which, in the classical tradition, chastises human beings for their follies and excesses, not with a rod but with a smile.
