Lava.' to title verso. This is NOT the 'prettier' of the two 1650 Elzevier printings listed by Willems 1110. 'Erasmus' Familiar Colloquies grew from a small collection of phrases sentences and snatches of dialogue written in Paris about 1497 to help his private pupils improve their command of Latin. Twenty years later the material was published by Johann Froben Basel 1518. It was an immediate success and was reprinted thirty times in the next four years. For the edition of March 1522 Erasmus began to add fully developed dialogues and a book designed to improve boys' use of Latin and their deportment soon became a work of literature for adults although it retained traces of its original purposes. The final Froben edition March 1533 had about sixty parts most of them dialogues. It was in the last form that the Colloquies were read and enjoyed for four centuries. For modern readers it is one of the best introductions to European society of the Renaissance and Reformation periods with lively descriptions of daily life and provocative discussions of political religious social and literary topics presented with Erasmus's characteristic wit and verve.' -- Craig Thompson introduction to the Colloquies volume of Erasmus's Collected Works.

Old inscription cropped from top edge title; one leaf with clean marginal tear just extending into text else fine and crisp throughout.<br /> <br /> First edition of this defense of Jansenism via the celebrated scholar of Rotterdam. Among the works reviewed by Locke for Jean Le Clerc the present title “indicated a new wave of interest in Erasmus†Mansfield. “Jean Richard 1615-1686 wanted to persuade the Roman Catholic Church that in persecuting the Jansenists it was as much in error as it had been when it denounced Erasmus. He also wanted to convince the English monarch that despite appearances to the contrary Erasmus had never adopted any stance outside the Catholic Church†van Herwaarden. The author surely intends the quotation from Cyprian at the verso of the title as a reference to both Erasmians and Jansenists: “This is always the devil’s work to destroy with lies the servants of God and defame their glorious name with false opinions†trans. Mansfield. Early modern reviews were mixed: Bayle considered it a “pity that the author. stopt at the first part of it†General Dictionary 5 1737 “Erasmus†85 note T. Burigny Vie d’Erasme Paris: 1758 judged it “. so badly done and so filled with invectives and declamations that it does not lead one to wish for the second†547; quoted in Mansfield 293n.<br /> <br /> In 1660 the French cleric Jean Richard was imprisoned by the archbishop of Rouen de Harlay a bitter opponent of Jansenism."During this personal crisis he published two works in defense of his Jansenist belief and behaviour. As we shall see there are grounds for believing that his Sentimens. was meant in part at least to achieve the same end. Nevertheless mysteries surround the work: it was published posthumously Richard died in 1686 having been prior of Beaulieu Saint-Avoie since 1673; what we have is the first part and we may only guess at how seriously the promise of a second part was intended. As it stands this is an ill-organized book repetitive with many digressions but filled with a naive enthusiasm and fascinating partly because of the evidences of a sound judgment about Erasmus partly because of the tantalizing but insoluble problem of the author’s aims. The avowed aim was proselytism. The book is dedicated -- on the eve of the Revolution of 1688 -- to James II of England a new Theodosius who is hazarding three kingdoms for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. May it help the English people to follow the king’s example in conversion to Catholicism by showing them the true character of Erasmus’ religion" Mansfield. References: Barbier 4:467. J. v.

Title vignettes. <br /> <br /> Originally published in 1548 "Paraphrases in Novum Testamentum" were composed between May 1517 and January1524. They consist of a series of commentaries on every book of the New Testament except "Apocalypse" a book for which Erasmus had no great regard. The Paraphrases were successful beyond expectation and were quickly translated into French German English and other languages.<br /> <br /> Modern endpapers and fly leaves. Small letter "H" stamped on title pages of first and third volumes. Text in Latin. Bindings and interior in overall very good condition. The publication history of the "Paraphrases" is complicated. Erasmus began with the Pauline Epistles. The paraphrase of Romans was published in quarto by Dirk Martens in Louvain in November 1517 and reprinted by Erasmus's friend Johann Froben in January of the following year; it sold well and was soon reprinted in octavo. Corinthians was published by Martens in February 1519 and reprinted in Basel by Froben in March; Galatians appeared later that year with editions from both publishers. The remaining Epistles followed in 1520 and 1521 the last to appear being Hebrews. In the autumn of 1521 Erasmus moved from Louvain to Basel and from that time Froben published the first editions of the remaining Paraphrases. Erasmus now turned to the Gospels Matthew appearing in March 1522 in both folio and octavo - from now on there are no more quartos John in February folio and March octavo 1523 Luke in August 1523 and Mark in early 1524 with a title page dated 1523. Acts followed quickly the dedication copy being dated February 13 1524. Froben published a complete edition in two volumes the first "a stout octavo volume of 400 leaves dated 1523 and called Tomus secundus" contained the Epistles and the Tomus primus containing the Gospels and Acts appeared the following year. "This was a considerable investment and the firm kept it in their list for ten years" resetting portions as needed without a change of date. The Paraphrases were reissued in various formats and combinations during the following decades; Roger Mynors writes: "When one is faced with one of these editions in folio one has to remember that a purchaser would see them as composed of separable parts out of which sets could be made up in any way that supply might dictate." For more information see: R.A.B. Mynors "The Publication of the Latin Paraphrases" in Robert Dick Sider ed. New Testament Scholarship: Paraphrases on Romans and Galatians Collected Works of Erasmus University of Toronto Press 1984 pp. xx-xxix. <br /> <br /> About the author: Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus 1466-1536 known as Erasmus or Erasmus of Rotterdam was a Dutch Renaissance humanist Catholic priest social critic teacher and theologian. Erasmus was a classical scholar and wrote in a pure Latin style. Among humanists he enjoyed the sobriquet "Prince of the Humanists" and has been called "the crowning glory of the Christian humanists." Using humanist techniques for working on texts he prepared important new Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament which raised questions that would be influential in the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation. He also wrote On Free Will The Praise of Folly Handbook of a Christian Knight On Civility in Children Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style Julius Exclusus and many other works. From Wikipedia.
