Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. This is the 1963 reissue of "The Praise of Folly" by Desiderius Erasmus. It was translated from the Latin by Hoyt Hopewell Hudson, who also provides an Essay and Commentary on the work. On the front flap of the dust-jacket, we find the following laudatory comments about this famous work : |> For four hundred and thirty years the pungent satire and polished wit of Erasmus have not only furnished delectation for the reader, but have also exerted a stimulating intellectual influence on writers and thinkers in succeeding centuries. The profundity of the great Renaissance scholar's thought, animated by the charm of his presentation makes "The Praise of Folly" one of the great and satisfying adventures in literary discovery, and Mr. Hudson's translation conveys all the wisdom and appeal of the Erasmian spirit. <| TITLE : The Praise of Folly AUTHOR : Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466 - 1536) TRANSLATION, INTRODUCTORY ESSAY & NOTES : Hoyt Hopewell Hudson (1893 - 1944) IMPRINT : Modern Library # 331 PLACE : New York DATE : [ © 1941 First Printing still on copyright page - But this copy released in 1963 ] EDITION : Reissue DETAILS : Trade hardcover (Toledano binding #8); 4 5/8" x 7", light gray cloth-covered binding with gilt lettering against black panels on spine and front cover - Modern Library device of running figure gilt-stamped on spine and front cover (Toledano #8); end-papers printed with the repeating motif designed by Rockwell Kent (End-papers D); contains an Introductory Essay, Notes and an Analysis; top text-block edge dyed black; [xliv] + 166 pages, plus 10 pages of Publisher's list; pictorial dust-jacket with picture of a pig reading a book on front panel - 1963 price still on front flap (Toledano jacket j).

Softcover. Condition: New. 1a.ed. en esta colección. 19x12 cm. Selección Clásicos Universales. 155 p., Rústica. Sprache: Spanisch, NUEVO / NEU / NEW. Enmascarado con un manto de ironía, Erasmo de Rotterdam construye una obra magistral que sigue iluminando a millones de lectores bastantes siglos después de su primera publicación. Bajo la apariencia de un juego satírico, se esconde una crítica velada donde no escapan monarcas, papas, la sociedad plebeya o los aristócratas. Con un modo discursivo, donde la propia estulticia es la que habla, se presenta a la locura y a la necedad como las fuentes de todo el bien del hombre, pues serían las que provocarían la felicidad, la bondad y el deleite. De forma sarcástica se nos dice que la razón no es quien dirige nuestras vidas, lo cual no deja de ser una burla más al ser humano y al uso que este hace de su inteligencia, así como una reprimenda directa a los últimos coletazos de las costumbres culturales del medievo más oscuro. Erasmo defendió los valores progresistas hasta sus últimos días. Humanista de corazón, fue uno de los más grandes intérpretes de las corrientes intelectuales del Renacimiento.

Rilegato. Condition: ottimo. Volume a cura di Cristina Baseggio. La copertina, rigida in cartonato marrone uso tela, pagg. 221, formato cm 14,5 x 18,5. Erasmo, umanista olandese, studiò teologia in Olanda e a Parigi (ottenendo il dottorato a Torino nel 1506). Discepolo ideale di Lorenzo Valla, entrò in contatto, in Inghilterra e in Italia (dove passò tre anni, 1506-09), con i più eminenti umanisti del suo tempo e cominciò lo studio del greco. Si fece portavoce di una riforma della chiesa ispirata a idee di tolleranza e di pace universale. A Venezia, ospite di Aldo Manuzio, lavorò agli Adagia, una raccolta di proverbi dell'antichità. Tornato in Inghilterra, nella casa di Tommaso Moro scrisse il suo libro più noto, l'Elogio della follia (Encomion Moriae seu laus stultitiae, 1511), satira scintillante e bonaria che alla demenza del mondo, avido di cose effimere, contrappone la superiore «follia» che sostiene la fede del cristiano, lo spinge a perdonare i propri nemici e a donare i propri beni. Sostenitore di una riforma della chiesa, e della società, che si richiama alle origini del messaggio cristiano e ai grandi esempi umani dell'antichità, e che deve attuarsi per mezzo dell'educazione, E. è il più celebre degli umanisti cristiani del Cinquecento. Ottimo esemplare. Il prezzo del libro è comprensivo delle spese di confezionamento e spedizione mediante raccomandata tracciabile.…

First Series - Music XXIII. Petrucci was "the first significant publisher of polyphonic music. . [His] first book, the Harmonice musices odhecaton A, was backed by Amadio Scotto and Niccolo di Raffaele, both experienced in the publishing trade. It does not survive intact and lacks a publication date, but the dedication (to Girolamo Donato, a leading Venetian nobleman, diplomat and humanist) is dated 15 May 1501. The music of this volume, a collection of chansons and other secular pieces, was edited by the Dominican friar Petrus Castellanus. The success of the venture must have been quickly evident: several reprintings of parts of it were needed within two years, and two new editions appeared, in 1503 and 1504. The intervening years were devoted to books of masses by the most highly regarded composers, starting with Josquin Des Prez and Brumel, as well as two motet volumes and the two books, Canti B and Canti C, which continued the Odhecaton series."

I grandi scrittori stranieri, 62. «Lo spirito di Erasmo non è morto, il suo pensiero, a traverso parte della sua opera, vive ancora nel fervido rinnovarsi dell'interesse generale. Quali sono gli elementi vitali, che assicurano ad Erasmo questa immotalità? Fu egli nella realtà storica un uomo grande, che col suo carattere e con la sua azione impresse alla vita il marchio di una potente forza morale? Rispondiamo senza esitazione: no! Ma fu un gigante nel mondo del pensiero, fu un dominatore sovrano nelle sfere dell'astrazione. E se il destino gli avesse concesso di vivere soltanto in quelle sfere, il suo prisma non avrebbe che riflessi luminosi».
