It also marked a turning point in the history of Western thinking about literary property. At once a singularly successful commercial product of the new printing industry and a repository of intellectual wealth, the \u003cem\u003eAdages\u003c\/em\u003e looks ahead to the development of copyright and back to an ancient philosophical tradition that ideas should be universally shared in the spirit of friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this elegant and tightly argued book, Kathy Eden focuses on both the commitment to friendship and common property that Erasmus shares with his favorite philosophers--Pythagoras, Plato, and Christ--and the early history of private property that gradually transforms European attitudes concerning the right to copy. In the process she accounts for the peculiar shape of Erasmus' collection of more than 3,000 proverbs and provides insightful readings of such ancient philosophical and religious thinkers as Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Iamblichus, Tertullian, Basil, Jerome, and Augustine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathy Eden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300087578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300087574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.86w x 0.73d","brand":"Kathy Eden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946401202431,"sku":"9780300087574","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c72e854a-8383-4f01-98cf-14500dca6463.jpg?v=1681512936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/friends-hold-all-things-in-kathy-eden-9780300087574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
