Humanist, born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. After six years in an Augustinian monastery, he became private secretary to the Bishop of Cambrai, and a priest (1492). He went to Paris, where he lived as a teacher, then moved to England in 1498, and became professor of divinity and of Greek at Cambridge. Here he wrote his satire, Encomium moriae (1509, The Praise of Folly). After 1514 he lived alternately in Basel and England, then in Louvain (1517–21). His masterpiece, Colloquia , appeared in 1519, an audacious handling of Church abuses.

In 1521 he left Louvain, and lived mainly in Basel, where he was engaged in continual controversy, but enjoyed great fame and respect in his later years.

In de verkiezing van Grootste Nederlander eindigde hij op de vijfde plek. Erasmus is dus nog niet vergeten. Of is het alleen de naam die we nog kennen? Deze korte biografie geeft een beschrijving van zijn leven en werken. Daarbij wordt het leven van Erasmus geplaatst in de tijd waarin hij leefde. · Tijdsgeest Erasmus leeft in een belangrijke tijd in de kerkelijke geschiedenis. Hij is een tijdgenoot van Maarten Luther. Aan het eind van de 15e en in de 16e eeuw groeit het verzet tegen de katholieke kerk als machtig bolwerk. Kerkdiensten zijn in het Latijn, waardoor het gewone volk niet begrijpt wat er gezegd wordt. Priesters vergroten hun macht door zaken aan te halen die niet eens in de bijbel staan. De kerk verrijkt zichzelf door de verkoop van aflaatbrieven. Iemand die zich ergens schuldig aan maakt, kan zijn zonde afkopen door een aflaatbrief te kopen bij de priesters. In die brief staat dat de zonden vergeven zijn. Dat aflaatbrieven een verzinsel van de kerk zijn, heeft de gewone burger niet door. Zij geloven dat dit in de bijbel staat.

After both his parents died in the plague of 1483, he followed his father's profession and became a priest. Quick-witted and witty, he was befriended by the Bishop of Cambrai and sent to Paris to study. But he soon came to despise the nit-picking 'scholastic' teachings, acquired the pseudonym of Desiderius Erasmus and took to instructing the sons of nobles, wandering Europe and earning the friendship of the continents leading scholars.

Links The Houston Circle for the Study of Early Modern Philosophy Desiderius Erasmus born Oct. 27, 1469, Rotterdam, Holland [now in The Netherlands] died July 12, 1536, Basel, Switzerland humanist who was the greatest scholar of the northern Renaissance, the first editor of the New Testament, and also an important figure in patristics and classical literature. Using the philological methods pioneered by Italian humanists, Erasmus helped lay the groundwork for the historical-critical study of the past, especially in his studies of the Greek New Testament and the Church Fathers. His educational writings contributed to the replacement of the older scholastic curriculum by the new humanist emphasis on the classics. By criticizing ecclesiastical abuses, while pointing to a better age in the distant past, he encouraged the growing urge for reform, which found expression both in the Protestant Reformation and in the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Finally, his independent stance in an age of fierce confessional controversy—rejecting both Luther's doctrine of predestination and the powers that were claimed for the papacy—made him a target of suspicion for loyal partisans on both sides and a beacon for those who valued liberty more than orthodoxy. Early life and career Erasmus was the second illegitimate son of Roger Gerard, a priest, and Margaret, a physician's daughter. He advanced as far as the third-highest class at the chapter school of St. Lebuin's in Deventer. One of his teachers, Jan Synthen, was a humanist, as was the headmaster, Alexander Hegius. The schoolboy Erasmus was clever enough to write classical Latin verse that impresses a modern reader as cosmopolitan.
