About this title

Synopsis

Explore Erasmus’s letters in the order they were written, with clear context and thoughtful translations.

This edition gathers translations of Erasmus’s early Epistles alongside a detailed commentary that explains how each letter fits into the overall chronology up to the year 1517. It helps English readers follow Erasmus’s life and ideas through his correspondences, while noting which letters are represented in translation and how the remaining items are described in the accompanying notes. The volume also includes a Preliminary Chapter and a comprehensive introduction on the collection’s publication history and the authenticity of some letters, all crafted to illuminate the mind and times of Erasmus without revealing every detail of his personal life.

Translated letters with careful chronology and helpful commentary
Explanations of date use and how the Epistles are arranged in the Register
Notes on omissions and editorial choices, including biographical and historical context
Background on the Epistles’ publication, authorship concerns, and the translator’s method

Ideal for readers of Renaissance letters, scholars of Erasmus, and anyone seeking a clear, well‑structured window into early modern thought and correspondence.
