Bart Ehrman suggests in his book Misquoting Jesus that the King James Version would not have included the passage if Desiderius Erasmus had not given in to pressure to include it in the Textus Receptus even though he doubted its authenticity.

According to his friend, the theologian Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam, More once seriously contemplated abandoning his legal career to become a monk.

A major centre for Reformation and Renaissance studies, Victoria is home to international scholarly projects and holdings devoted to pre-Puritan English drama and the works of Desiderius Erasmus.

In particular, it houses the Erasmus collection, one of the richest resources in North America for the study of works written or edited by the great Dutch humanist Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam.

* July 12 – Desiderius Erasmus, Dutch writer and philosopher ( b. c. 1466 )

He was influenced by the work of Desiderius Erasmus, who made the Greek New Testament available in Europe, and by Martin Luther.

* Desiderius Erasmus publishes a new Greek translation of the New Testament.

He also painted the occasional portrait, making his international mark with portraits of the humanist Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam.

Desiderius was a self-adopted additional name, which he used from 1496.

After his defeat of Ratchis, the last Lombard to rule as king was Desiderius, duke of Tuscany, who managed to take Ravenna definitively, ending the Byzantine presence in northern Italy.

But when Pope Hadrian I called for help from the powerful king Charlemagne, Desiderius was defeated at Susa and besieged in Pavia, while his son Adelchis had also to open the gates of Verona to Frankish troops.

They either argue that it was left unfinished or say that earlier sources, such as Richard Eden's The Decades of the New Worlde Or West India ( 1555 ) and Desiderius Erasmus's Naufragium / The Shipwreck ( 1523 ), sufficiently account for some of the phrasing and images in The Tempest.

It is probable that he was secretary to the Lombard king Desiderius, a successor of Ratchis ; it is certain that this king's daughter Adelperga was his pupil.

Shortly after Adrian's accession the territory ruled by the papacy was invaded by Desiderius, king of the Lombards, and Adrian was compelled to seek the assistance of the Frankish king Charlemagne, who entered Italy with a large army.

Desiderius, abbot of Monte Cassino was first chosen pope as Victor III when Gregory VII died in 1085, but after Victor's short reign, Otho was elected Pope Urban II by acclamation ( March 1088 ) at a small meeting of cardinals and other prelates held in Terracina in March 1088.

Consequently, an embassy was sent to the Lombard king, Desiderius, in 770, which included Charlemagne ’ s mother, Bertrada of Laon.

At the same time, a message was sent from Desiderius to the people of the city, declaring that:

That such a letter was a fiction was demonstrated very soon after ; when Stephen asked Desiderius to fulfil the promises he had made over the body of Saint Peter, the Lombard king responded:

Desiderius continued to stir trouble in Italy ; in 771, he managed to convince the bishops of Istria to reject the authority of the Patriarch of Grado, and to have them place themselves under the Patriarch of Aquileia, which was directly under Lombard control.

Blessed Pope Victor III ( c. 1026 – 16 September 1087 ), born Daufer ( Dauphar ), Latinised Dauferius, was Pope as the successor of Pope Gregory VII from 24 May 1086, yet his pontificate is far less impressive in history than his time as Desiderius, the great Abbot of Monte Cassino.

It was at Bari, when about to sail for the East, that the news of the pope's death reached Desiderius.

Desiderius was the greatest of all the abbots of Monte Cassino with the exception of the founder, and as such won for himself " imperishable fame " ( Gregorovius ).

Desiderius was able to exert the help of the Normans of southern Italy repeatedly in favour of the Holy See.

In 1084, when Rome was in Henry's hands and the pope besieged in Castel Sant ' Angelo, Desiderius announced the approach of Guiscard's army to both emperor and pope.

On 23 May a great meeting was held in the deaconry of St. Lucy, and Desiderius was again importuned to accept the papacy but persisted in his refusal, threatening to return to his monastery in case of violence.

The assembly now lost all patience ; Desiderius was seized and dragged to the Church of St. Lucy, where he was forcibly vested in the red cope and given the name of Victor on 24 May 1086.
