Über diesen Titel

Présentation de l'éditeur

John Colet, Dean of St. Paul s, founder of St. Paul s School, and friend of Erasmus, who died just four hundred years ago, is not even mentioned in the histories of Hume and Lingard, but his great importance in the English Renaissance is now universally recognized. He is more closely connected within the City of London than any other scholar and divine in our annals, for in addition to his long tenure of the deanery, and his foundation of the School which then stood under the shadow of the old Cathedral, his father, Sir Henry Colet, was twice Lord Mayor. But his name lives also at Oxford; and he touches closely both the Humanism of the Renaissance and the beginnings of the Reformation.
