Erasmus Canal

English Translation from HMDB:

He was trained as a priest and developed into the most important (humanist) scholar of his time (Renaissance). He studied in Paris, stayed at the royal court in England and worked with printers in Venice and Basel. According to Erasmus, man must develop in three areas: cultural, religious and ethical. These aspects are discussed in his most famous work, Lof der zotheid (“In Praise of Folly” – original Latin title Stultitiae laus, 1509) and in many other publications by him.
