Inspired by Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli's De Triumpho Stultitiae, it is a satirical attack on superstitions and other traditions of European society as well as on the western Church. Erasmus revised and extended the work, which he originally wrote in the space of a week while sojourning with Sir Thomas More at More's estate in Bucklersbury. In Praise of Folly is considered one of the most notable works of the Renaissance and played an important role in the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Wilson, Erasmus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1537363964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781537363967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.01w x 0.11d","brand":"John Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938111291647,"sku":"9781537363967","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dfd943f3-f8c1-4283-ad3a-0c6507ac91b8.jpg?v=1681433798","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-praise-of-folly-john-wilson-9781537363967","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
