Desiderius
Erasmus (1466/69-1536)
Humanist of Rotterdam
Humanist of Rotterdam
The
most renowned scholar of his age, Erasmus paved the way for the Reformation
by his merciless satires on the doctrines and institutions of the Church.
However, his abhorrence of violence prevented him from joining the Reformers,
and threw him back on the tradition of the Church. In the later years
of his life he became suspect to both parties.
