{"product_id":"collected-works-of-erasmus-desiderius-erasmus-9780802092229","title":"Collected Works of Erasmus: The New Testament Scholarship of Erasmus, Volume 41","description":"\u003cp\u003eErasmus produced his five editions of the New Testament in Greek and Latin and his Paraphrases on the Gospels and Epistles almost contemporaneously with the tumultuous events that accompanied the beginnings of the Reformation in Europe. At the same time, his scholarship was a signal illustration of the Christian Humanism of northern Europe. His remarkable scholarship is translated and annotated in the \u003ci\u003eCollected Works of Erasmus\u003c\/i\u003e, volumes 42-60, published by the University of Toronto Press. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume, CWE 41, seeks to set in perspective in a major introductory essay the full range of that scholarship. It traces the origin of Erasmus' work and its development over the course of the last two decades of his life, placing the work on the New Testament in the context of his life and the political and religious events of his age, revealing the endeavour as a process, and thus giving the reader illuminating points of reference for the many cryptic allusions in his annotations and paraphrases. The book includes an annotated translation of three of Erasmus' major writings on Scripture and its interpretation -- the \u003ci\u003eParaclesis\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eRatio verae theologiae\u003c\/i\u003e ('System of True Theology'), and the \u003ci\u003eApologia\u003c\/i\u003e (defense of his work). It includes as well some of his further attempts to clarify his endeavour -- relevant letters and a vitriolic response to his 'crabby critics' ( \u003ci\u003eContra morosos\u003c\/i\u003e). The volume offers a unique insight into the production of Erasmus' scholarship in book form, illustrating abundantly the special features that made his editions of the New Testament and his Paraphrases both esthetically pleasing and effectively marketable products. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Desiderius Erasmus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802092225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802092229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 2.75d","brand":"Desiderius Erasmus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065135214847,"sku":"9780802092229","price":340.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_892f2ea3-9004-483d-9d07-6ed12a5775cf.jpg?v=1768673225","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/collected-works-of-erasmus-desiderius-erasmus-9780802092229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
