The book titled The Life, Character and Influence of Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam Derived from a Study of His Works and Correspondence V2 is a detailed account of the life, character, and influence of Desiderius Erasmus, a renowned scholar and humanist of the Renaissance era. The author, John Joseph Mangan, has based his study on Erasmus's works and correspondence, providing a comprehensive analysis of his ideas, beliefs, and contributions to the intellectual and cultural landscape of Europe during his time. The book is divided into two volumes, with the second volume focusing on Erasmus's influence on the Protestant Reformation and his relationship with Martin Luther. Mangan's writing style is engaging and informative, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Renaissance humanism and its impact on European society.1927. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766171868. Volume 2 of 2. The facts as they have been left to us by Erasmus, and which Mr. Mangan has here gathered together in compact form, give us an Erasmus far different from this imagined one. In presenting this study of the life and activities of Erasmus to the public, the author realizes that it differs in many respects from the conventional biography of him to which we have become accustomed. This has been less a matter of intent than a direct consequence of the plan which Mangan followed throughout the work: of having him speak for himself always, rather than attempting to interpret his at times so kaleidoscopic mind.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
