Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. A smart three volume set of the Colloquies of Erasmus, a collection of dialogues or skits on a wide variety of subjects. Complete in three volumes. With a portrait frontispiece to volume one. Erasmus' Colloquies are a collection of dialogues or skits on a wide variety of subjects which began in the late 1490s as informal Latin exercises for his own pupils. The first official version, of 1518, was described as "a collection of formulae and conversational passages."
