New Voices in Epigraphy Past and Present: Unpublished Epitaphs From Rome
The article aims to shed new light on the voices of bereaved benefactors: slaves, freedmen and freedwomen, who are often marginalized in literary and monumental sources, by exploring a series of unpublished funerary inscriptions from Rome, currently in storage at the Museo Nazionale Romano. Editions of the text, translations and commentaries have been produced by young scholars from the British School at Rome (former participants of the BSR Postg…
Cardinal Cisneros, Desiderius Erasmus, and the Polyglot Bible
This chapter discusses Erasmus’s understanding of the textual tradition, his project of editing the New Testament text and Johann Froben’s role in it, and his use of manuscripts and the five editions published during his lifetime. It also touches on the reception of his work in Spain, in particular the opposition to his textual criticism and the polemics with Spanish critics (Stunica, Nebrija, and Valladolid articles). Erasmus’s contacts with Cis…

Secular Advice in Erasmus's Sacred Writings
Research into Erasmus’s political ideas, notably his pacifism, should not be based on sources like Institutio Principis Christiani, Querela Pacis, or Dulce Bellum, which are rhetorical compositions and offer clichés rather than Erasmus’s personal opinions. At the very least, these sources should be checked against Erasmus’s theological writings, in which he presents specific and cogent arguments for his views and allows us to put them into their …

The Reception of Erasmus’ Adages in Sixteenth-Century England
The Adages of Erasmus, a collection of more than 4,000 classical proverbs, was a bestseller in its time. The book was valued both for its usefulness in Latin composition and its witty asides on contemporary society. The dissemination of the Adages in England is of special significance because the genesis of the book and its dedication to the members of the Mountjoy family closely link it to that country. Its influence can be traced through the us…
Renaissance Humanism: Foundations, Forms, and Legacy
A Companion to Biblical Humanism and Scholasticism in the Age of Erasmus
Throughout the Middle Ages dialectical disputation was the prevailing method of scholarly inquiry. In the fifteenth century, however, humanists challenged the scholastic method, proposing instead historical and philological approaches. This volume focuses on the polemic over the right approach to biblical studies. It describes manifestations of the controversy, ranging from its beginnings in quattrocento Italy to Germany, Spain, France, the Nethe…

The theology of Erasmus
In Erasmus' time, Catholic critics circulated the tag, 'Erasmus laid the egg, and Luther hatched it.' The idea that Erasmus was a 'pre-reformer' and that his theology is best studied in the context of Luther's thought has been perpetuated by modern historians. Protestant theologians, of course, capitalized on the doctrinal differences between the two men rather than on their common ground. This approach prompted Ernst-Wilhelm Kohls to accuse them…

The Confessionalization of Humanism in Reformation Germany
A great deal has been written about the influence of humanism on the Reformation. The present study reverses the question, asking: how did the Reformation affect humanism? Although it is true that humanism influenced the course of the Reformation, says Erika Rummel, the dynamics of the relationship are better described by saying that humanism was co-opted, perhaps even exploited, in the religious debate. Both Reformers and Catholic reactionaries …

The Confessionalization of Humanism in Reformation Germany
This book deals with the impact of the Reformation debate in Germany on the most prominent intellectual movement of the time: humanism. Although it is true that humanism influenced the course of the Reformation, says Erika Rummel, the dynamics of the relationship are better described by saying that humanism was co-opted, perhaps even exploited, in the religious debate.

Marineo Sículo: A Protagonist of Humanism in Spain
The writings of Lucio Marineo Sículo, royal historian at the court of Fernando and Isabel, provide a wealth of information on the history of early humanism in Spain. His collection of letters, in particular, yields the kind of anecdotal evidence that adds the fine strokes to the overall picture of Renaissance Spain.Marineo was born in Vizzini, Sicily, in the mid 1440s. He embarked on a scholarly career late in life. His parents, he tells us, ridi…
Erasmus' Manual of Letter-writing: Tradition and Innovation
Le Manuel d'art épistolaire d'Érasme Le Manuel d'art épistolaire d'Érasme contient un certain nombre de références extrêmement critiques à l'égard de ses contemporains et de ses prédécesseurs dans le domaine. Cela semble suggérer qu'il va offrir des réflexions complètement nouvelles ou différentes, une suggestion que la lecture du traité ne confirme pas. On peut donc en conclure que les critiques d'Érasme ne représentent, dans une certaine mesure…

Structure and Argumentation in Erasmus' De Pueris Instituendis
Erasmus and His Catholic Critics: I. 1515-1522
Although polemics dominated Erasmus' literary output in the last two decades of his life, the controversies remain among the most neglected pieces in the corpus of his writings. On a different level, they add a dimension often missing in portraits of Erasmus. Usually depicted as the urbane and witty humanist who enjoyed great popularity and prestige, he appears in the works of his critics as a contentious and duplicitous "theologizer" who inspire…
Manifesta mendacia: Erasmus' Reply to @'Taxander
Among the holdings of the Royal Library at Copenhagen are three codices containing rough drafts of letters and treatises, some in Erasmus' hand. In 1966 C. Reedijk published a detailed description of the contents of the manuscripts, identifying all of the pieces except for one short section entitled Manifesta mendacia. Speculating about the contents of this autograph, which is written in a hurried manner and difficult to decipher in places, he su…

Political and Religious Propaganda at the Court of Charles V: A Newly-Identified Tract by Alfonso Valdés
An anonymous response on behalf of Charles V to statements made by Edward Lee, English ambassador to the imperial court (published in Exhibita quaedam per Eduardum Leum ..., Antwerp, 1528), is ascribed to the imperial secretary Alfonso Valdés. There are verbal and contextual parallels between the anonymous response and Valdés's Diálogo de Mercurio y Carón. Both works, moreover, contain references to Erasmus, with whom Lee had engaged in a polemic…
