Shortly after Erasmus' revolutionary edition of the Greek New Testament of 1516, he undertook the Paraphrases, intending to "retell" the books of the New Testament in one, uninterrupted voice, without the clutter of textual commentary or critical interruption. It was a bold undertaking, and, in 1517, Erasmus began with the letters of Paul. They were first issued separately, starting with Romans in 1517; and editions appeared in Louvain (Thierry Martens), Leipzig (Valentin Schumann), and Basel (Johann Froben). Beginning in 1519, Froben began to publish groups of the Paraphrases and in 1521, a collected edition of all of the Pauline letters. This is a nonce volume containing the latter part of the 1521 Froben edition of the Paraphrases of Erasmus. The first half of the book is not present (gatherings a-N) comprising the Epistles to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians. The colophon states the edition was completed in July 1521. Four complete sections, with their individual title pages: A) Paraphrases in Epistolas Pavli ad Timotheum duas, ad Titum unam, et ad Philemone[m] unam. Item In catholicas epistolas Apostolorum, Petri duas, Unam Iudae Unam Iacobi, et Treis Ioannis, et ad Hebraeos unam. Per Erasmum Roterodamum. Anno M.D.XXI.

D) Paraphrases Erasmi Roterodami in epistolas canonicas, Duas Petri, Unam Iudae, Unam Iacobi, et Treis Ioannis. [Woodcut border with date 1520].
