Erasmus was one of the scholars learned in Greek that the Aldine Press employed.

Some evidence confirming 1466 can be found in Erasmus's own words: of twenty-three statements Erasmus made about his age, all but one of the first fifteen indicate 1466.

Erasmus had been unable to find those verses in any Greek manuscript, but one was supplied to him during production of the third edition.

Erasmus ’ s Sileni Alcibiadis (" The Sileni of Alcibiades ") is one of his most direct assessments of the need for Church reform.

His three profile portraits of Erasmus, two ( nearly identical ) profile portraits and one three-quarters view portrait were all painted in the same year, 1523.

He studied in Venice, where he became acquainted with Erasmus and Aldus Manutius, and at an early age was reputed one of the most learned men of the time.

Most of these translations relied ( though not always exclusively ) upon one of the printed editions of the Greek New Testament edited by Erasmus, a form of this Greek text emerged as the standard and is known as the Textus Receptus.

For instance, in one section of the De Copia, Erasmus presents two hundred variations of the sentence " Semper, dum vivam, tui meminero.

" Erasmus claimed him as a father / teacher figure and may have actually met him through his own schoolmaster Alexander Hegius ( most probably one of Agricola's students ) at Hegius's school in Deventer.

Erasmus saluted him as one " whose soul was more pure than any snow, whose genius was such that England never had and never again will have its like ".

More's friend Andrew Ammonius derided Alice as a " hook-nosed harpy ", although Erasmus attested that the marriage was a happy one.

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.

At least one of these cases was a patient whom Erasmus Darwin had asked Withering for his second opinion.

It was not, however, to these sources that Beza was chiefly indebted, but rather to the previous edition of the eminent Robert Estienne ( 1550 ), itself based in great measure upon one of the later editions of Erasmus.

Again, since Erasmus had been educated at one of the houses of the Brethren of the Common Life in's-Hertogenbosch, and the town was religiously progressive, some writers have found it unsurprising that strong parallels exist between the caustic writing of Erasmus and the often savage painting of Bosch.

Among his pupils was one — Erasmus — whose name alone would suffice to preserve the memory of his instructor in Greek, and others of note in letters and politics, such as Sir Thomas More, Prince Arthur and Queen Mary I of England.

On his return to Oxford, full of the learning and imbued with the spirit of the Italian Renaissance, he formed one of the brilliant circle of Oxford scholars, including John Colet, William Grocyn and William Latimer, who are mentioned in the letters of Erasmus.

Erasmus likely portrayed Colet to show that one could be highly critical of the Church while still a loyal priest.

Between 1794 and 1796 Erasmus Darwin wrote Zoonomia suggesting " that all warm-blooded animals have arisen from one living filament ... with the power of acquiring new parts " in response to stimuli, with each round of " improvements " being inherited by successive generations.

Brown's other work included a criticism of Erasmus Darwin's Zoonomia ( 1798 ), and he was one of the first contributors to the Edinburgh Review, in the second number of which he published a criticism of Immanuel Kant's philosophy, based entirely on Villers's French account of it.

The scheme breathed the spirit of the Renaissance ; provision was made for the teaching of Greek, Erasmus praised the institution and Pole was one of its earliest fellows.

For the grant programs in Germany, the Freie Universität is one of the first choices both for the Erasmus and Tempus as well as for the Fulbright program and the international programs of the German Academic Exchange Service ( DAAD ).

However during the 20th Century there were more than one hundred English translations, and they were all based heavily on the Vaticanus Greek text in opposition to the New Testament Greek text that Erasmus viewed as pure and traditional.

Nowadays, the traditional Erasmus exchange ( which involves travelling ) has been complemented with Virtual mobility, or Virtual Erasmus, in which students from different countries may study together without leaving their home.

By 1508, after his stay in Italy, Erasmus had expanded the collection ( now called Adagiorum chiliades or " Thousands of proverbs ") to over three thousand items, many accompanied by richly annotated commentaries, some of which were brief essays on political and moral topics.

In their early correspondence, Luther expressed boundless admiration for all Erasmus had done in the cause of a sound and reasonable Christianity and urged him to join the Lutheran party.

In this controversy Erasmus lets it be seen that he would like to claim more for free will than St. Paul and St. Augustine seem to allow according to Luther's interpretation.

Books of bestselling authors like Luther or Erasmus were sold by the hundreds of thousands in their lifetime.

Erasmus and later figures like Martin Luther and Zwingli would emerge from this debate and eventually contribute to another major schism of Christendom.

Under the influence of men like Reuchlin and Erasmus he became convinced that true Christianity was something different from scholastic theology as it was taught at the university.

" It is remarkable that Luther, who vehemently attacked men like Erasmus and Bucer, when he thought that truth was at stake, never spoke directly against Melanchthon, and even during his melancholy last years conquered his temper.

She was a patron of the new learning, like many Renaissance nobles: Gentian Hervet translated Erasmus ' de immensa misericordia Dei ( The Great Mercy of God ) into English for her.

Its principal members were humanists, like Bessartion's protégé Giovanni Antonio Campani ( Campanus ), Bartolomeo Platina, the papal librarian, and Filippo Buonaccorsi, and young visitors who received polish in the academic circle, like Publio Fausto Andrelini of Bologna who took the New Learning to the University of Paris, to the discomfiture of his friend Erasmus.

It is a piece of vigorous invective, displaying, like all his subsequent writings, an astonishing command of Latin, and much brilliant rhetoric, but full of vulgar abuse, and completely missing the point of the Ciceronianus of Erasmus.

Much humanist effort went into improving the understanding and translations of Biblical and early Christian texts, both before the Protestant Reformation, on which the work of figures like Erasmus and Jacques Lefèvre d ' Étaples had a great influence, and afterwards.

Henceforth, Góis travelled intensely ( Poland, Lithuania, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, France, Italy ), entering into contact with a number of important figures, like Sebastian Münster, Erasmus ( who hosted him in Freiburg ), Ramusio, Philipp Melanchthon and Martin Luther.

Scholars like the Dutch humanist, Desiderius Erasmus ( 1467 – 1563 ), denounced the church and the way it taught.

The robot Erasmus continues with his enlightening human experimentation, and makes a curious bet with the Omnius entity on Corrin, where he claims he can raise a human being to be orderly and civilized like a machine.

And in this work of collection and instruction Filelfo excelled, passing rapidly from place to place, stirring up the zeal for learning by the passion of his own enthusiastic temperament, and acting as a pioneer for men like Angelo Poliziano and Erasmus.

* Master or Bachelor Scholarship, a general name for different international exchange programs, like Erasmus in Europe.

Importantly, Erasmus proposes that the contemporary focus should move from an emphasis on “ Aboriginal Rights to relationship between peoples ; from crying needs to vigorous capacity ; from individual citizenship to nations within the nation state .” He suggests that the pursuit of seeking recognition of Aboriginal Rights through the Canadian courts should change because “ Litgation is no way to build a community .” Erasmus reasserts instead, the importance of treaty making as a way forward to build renewed relationships built on “ mutual trust ” and a bond “ like that of brothers who might have different gifts and follow different paths, but who could be counted on to render assistance to one another in times of need .”

A number of these appear to have been set up as a means of development assistance rather than with the development of universities as such, an impression strengthened by the fact that they were managed by the European Commission's development assistance service EuropeAid rather than ( like Tempus or Erasmus Mundus programme ) by its Education and Culture department.

They planned ahead, Erasmus thinking " It will be very pleasant our being together, we shall be as cozy as possible ", arriving early at Edinburgh to make social contact with old friends of the family in Whig society, and so " we can both read like horses ".

At first Emser was on the side of the reformers, but like his patron he desired a practical reformation of the clergy without any doctrinal breach with the past or the church ; and his liberal sympathies were mainly humanistic, like those of Erasmus and others who parted company with Luther after 1519.

Nevertheless, the Renaissance retained many models of thinking that can also be seen as medieval, with figures like Erasmus criticising medieval Scholasticism and superstition, but remaining loyal to the Catholic Church and Church doctrine.
