Z Desiderius Erasmus The most brilliant and most important leader of German humanism, b. at Rotterdam, Holland, 28 October, probably in 1466; d. at Basle, Switzerland, 12 July, 1536. He was the illegitimate In 1506 he was finally able, by the aid of his English friends, to attain his greatest desire, a journey to Italy. On his way thither he received at Turin the degree of Doctor of Divinity; at Bologna, Padua, and Venice, the academic centres of Upper Italy, he was greeted with enthusiastic honour by the most distinguished humanists, and he spent some time in each of these cities. At Venice he formed an intimate friendship with the famous printer Aldus Manutius. His reception at Rome was equally flattering; the cardinals, especially Giovanni de' Medici (later Leo X), and Domenico Grimani, were particularly gracious to him. He could not, however, be persuaded to fix his residence at Rome, and refused all offers of ecclesiastical promotion. Henry VIII Erasmus may now be said to have reached the acme of his fame; he was in high repute throughout all Europe, and was regarded as an oracle both by princes and scholars. Every one felt it an honour to enter into correspondence with him. His inborn vanity and self-complacency were thereby increased almost to the point of becoming a disease; at the same time he sought, often by the grossest flattery, to obtain the favour and material support of patrons or to secure the continuance of such benefits. This was also the period of his greatest literary productivity. He wrote at this time works destined to influence profoundly the

6. Biography Of Erasmus Desiderius Roterodamus erasmus desiderius Roterodamus that means Beloved (in Hellenic and in Latin)- wasborn in Rotterdam, Holland in Oct 27, 1466 and died in Basel, Switzerland in http://www.aueb.gr/users/esaopa/Philosopher.html

BIOGRAPHY OF ERASMUS I assume that even if you don't know it, you can easily guess that Erasmus stands for EuRopean Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students. But did you ever ask yourself whether there was some other reason why the Erasmus Programme was given this name? If yes, then the next question you probably asked yourself was "Who was Erasmus?". The part that follows contains a short biography of Erasmus, that should be enough to answer this second question. As about the first one, make your own conclusions afterwards. Erasmus Desiderius Roterodamus -that means Beloved (in Hellenic and in Latin)- was born in Rotterdam, Holland in Oct 27, 1466 and died in Basel, Switzerland in July 12, 1536. He was the second son of Roger Gerard, a priest, and Margaret, a physician's daughter, and was most probably born out of wedlock. He lost both his parents when he was 9, and his guardians then sent him to a church school in Deventer, and then to other monastic schools, where he was given the best education possible for those times. In 1492 he became a priest, though he never really meant to exercise priesthood. He was rather disgusted by the corruption of the church and the way church and its militarism affected on people's minds, but he preferred to remain a Roman Catholic, so that he could fight against all this from the inside, while also being able to receive higher education. By the time he took the priestly vows, Erasmus lived on as a scholar, independent of country, religion and everything that could interfere with the free development of his intellect and his literary expression. Erasmus travelled from one country to another and became popular among the people of thought for his effort to combine faith with reason and the classic greek and roman culture into a new way of christian life. He was offered many honorable positions in the academic world, but declined them all, choosing to continue travelling on and stirring more people to thinking. He met and befriended important people of his days, like John Colet and Thomas More in England, Aldus Manutius in Italy, Froben in Switzerland, people that contributed to his popularity by publishing his writs.

18. Desiderius Erasmus, 1466-1536 Biographical information, a picture, and a brief selection from the Praise of Folly. http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/erasmus.html

Desiderius Erasmus, 1466-1536 In 1500 he was again in France, and for the next six years lived chiefly at Paris. To this period belong his Adagia and Enchiridion Militis Christiani . In 1506 he made a short visit to England, carried out a long-desired journey to Italy, and at Padua acted as tutor to Alexander, Archbishop of St. Andrews, natural son of James IV of Scotland. His visit closed with a short stay in Rome, whence he carried away a far more friendly impression than did Luther when he made his visit. The accession of Henry VIII, and the invitation of Lord Mountjoy, induced Erasmus once more to make England his home. In his satire, Encomium Moriae (1509), we have him in his happiest vein, as the man of letters and the critic of kings and churchmen. Erasmus resided chiefly at Cambridge, where he acted as Margaret professor of Divinity and professor of Greek. After 1514 he lived alternatively in Basel and England, and from 1517 to 1521 at Louvain. In 1519 appeared the first edition of his Colloquia , usually regarded as his masterpiece. The audacity and incisiveness with which it handles the abuses of the Church prepared men's minds for the subsequent work of Martin Luther.
