Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

The eminent Dutch historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) has a special sympathy for the complex, withdrawn personality of Erasmus and for his advocacy of intellectual and spiritual balance in a quarrelsome age. This biography is a classic work on the sixteenth-century scholar / humanist. Again available in paperback, this edition contains thirty-two illustrations and a selection of letters from Erasmus' vast correspondence. First published in 1924, this book was written as a companion piece to Huizinga's masterwork THE WANING OF THE MIDDLE AGES.

Biografía del autor

Huizinga, one of Europe's greatest historians, was educated at the universities of Groningen and Leipzig. After teaching history in Haarlem and lecturing in Indian literature at Amsterdam, he was professor of history first at Groningen (1905-15) and then at Leiden until 1942, when he was held as a hostage by the Nazis. He remained under open arrest until his death in 1945.
