Erasmus on Literature : His Ratio or System' of 1518/1519
University of Toronto Press
Explore Erasmus's adventurous thinking on how texts signify and remake worlds of thought with 'Erasmus on Literature: His Ratio or System of 1518/1519'. This edition, based on Robert D. Sider's translation and notes, makes Erasmus's influential 'Ratio verae theologiae' accessible for multidisciplinary understanding. Discover how this compendious 'System' guides the interpretation of complex texts and the development of persuasive arguments, applied to both canonical Scriptures and everyday Christian theology. It addresses the unique challenges of the biblical text in Latin and Greek, framed by classical grammar and rhetoric, and drawing on the exemplary interpretations of the Church Fathers. This student edition reveals Erasmus's instincts as a theorist and practitioner of the cognitive, social, and political arts of written language, offering insights into human beings as symbol-using creatures whose worlds are partly constructed by texts. Written by Mark Vessey, with a foreword by Anthony Grafton. **Product Summary:** University of Toronto Press book, "Erasmus on Literature: His ‘Ratio’ or ‘System’ of 1518–1519" by Mark Vessey.
