Erasmus said it was " rushed into print rather than edited ".

Also, it is said that Erasmus chose to remain a Roman Catholic because of a lecture he heard from Savonarola, the Dominican friar who was highly influential in Florence for a time.

Her acts included making pilgrimages, obtaining a papal indulgence for those who knelt and said the Angelus three times per day, and founding the chapel of St. Erasmus in Westminster Abbey.

Lecturing on Isaiah, he condemned current ecclesiastical abuses, and in a public disputation ( August 20, 1523 ) gained such success that Erasmus writing to Zürich said, " Oecolampadius has the upper hand amongst us.

Saint Erasmus may have become the patron of sailors because he is said to have continued preaching even after a thunderbolt struck the ground beside him.

Roscoe said he still desired to write a biography of Erasmus but lacked both leisure and youth.

This novel arrangement proved too much for the resident Anglican priest, Erasmus Stourton —" that knave Stourton ", as Baltimore referred to him — who, after altercations with Baltimore, was placed on a ship for England, where he lost no time in reporting Baltimore's practices to the authorities, complaining that the Catholic priests Smith and Hackett said mass every Sunday and " doe use all other ceremonies of the church of Rome in as ample a manner as tis used in Spayne ".

Emma gave birth to Mary Eleanor on 23 September, and they were all getting on well – even Darwin's brother Erasmus who had said the place should be called " Down-in-the-Mouth " had altered his opinion, but they were saddened when baby Mary died on 16 October.

Erasmus said the resulting work was " thrown headlong rather than edited " (" prœcipitatum fuit verius quam editum ").

Erasmus is said to have replied to these critics that the Comma did not occur in any of the Greek manuscripts he could find, but that he would add it to future editions if it appeared in a single Greek manuscript.

He then passed on the gossip that Miss Martineau had been " as frisky lately the Rhinoceros .— Erasmus has been with her noon, morning, and night :— if her character was not as secure, as a mountain in the polar regions she certainly would loose it .— Lyell called there the other day & there was a beautiful rose on the table, & she coolly showed it to him & said “ Erasmus Darwin ” gave me that .— How fortunate it is, she is so very plain ; otherwise I should be frightened: She is a wonderful woman ".

" Ernst Krause's Erasmus Darwin countered this, and Butler took affront at Darwin's preface which said that Krause's essay predated Butler's book, when it clearly had passages written later.

The collection was published anonymously, and the authorship has been a fertile subject of controversy, but the main portion of the letters are attributed to the humanists Crotus Rubeanus a. k. a. Johannes Jäger, who is said to have originated the idea and the title ; Ulrich von Hutten, who contributed mainly to the second volume ; Erasmus ; and Reuchlin.

In 1499, while in England, Erasmus was particularly impressed by the Bible teaching of John Colet who pursued a style more akin to the church fathers than the Scholastics.

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.

Colet influenced Erasmus, a key figure in Christian humanism.

His methods did much to influence Erasmus, who visited Oxford in 1498, and who later received an annuity from Colet.

Many opinions regarding Colet emerged due to this sermon, in addition to the biographical information described by Erasmus.

While Colet is not as well known a Christian humanist as Erasmus, his writings are reflective of Christian humanism.

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

Scholars believed Colet strongly impacted Erasmus and the English Reformation.

Erasmus stated that Colet was a man for the ages and a true Christian.

Together with Lilye, Erasmus, and Wolsey, Colet produced materials forming the basis of the authorized Latin Grammar, used for centuries in the English schools.

A number of letters from Colet to Erasmus also survive.

This Brevissima Institutio, a sketch by Colet, corrected by Erasmus and worked upon by Lily, contains two portions the author of which is indisputably Lily.

Colet was an outspoken critic of the powerful and worldly Church of his day, a friend of Erasmus and Sir Thomas More.

Yonge was on terms of intimate friendship with Dean Colet, and was a correspondent of Erasmus.

These reached their peak in the Renaissance and Wolfe particularly draws inspiration from the Renaissance humanists that supported the Catholic Church, such as Erasmus, Thomas More, Johann Reuchlin and John Colet.

Continuing his chastisement of Luther — and undoubtedly put off by the notion of there being “ no pure interpretation of Scripture anywhere but in Wittenberg ” – Erasmus touches upon another important point of the controversy:

In support of this, Erasmus states: “ Anyone who looks closely at the inward nature and essence will find that nobody is further from true wisdom than those people with their grand titles, learned bonnets, splendid sashes and bejeweled rings, who profess to be wisdom ’ s peak ”.

His Erasmus of Rotterdam he called a “ concealed self-portrayal ” in The World of Yesterday.

* The “ House of Erasmus ”, built around 1450, and its medicinal garden can be visited nearby.

A Thesaurus pauperum of 1468 from Tegernsee states: “ Diana who is commonly known as Fraw Percht is in the habit of wandering through the night with a host of women .” A 16th century fable recorded by Erasmus Alberus speaks of “ an army of women ” with sickles in hand sent by Frau Hulda.

* Much of the information about the original school comes from the historical reviews compiled on significant anniversaries of the school for the three issues of The Chronicles of Erasmus Hall High School, 1906, 1906 – 1937, and 1937 – 1987 ( New York: New York City Board of Education, 1906, 1937, 1987 ); National Register nomination form for Erasmus Hall Museum, prepared by Betty Ezequelle and Stephen Lash, 1973 ; and Marian Miller, “ Erasmus Hall H. S.

Realizing that hrethgir will rule the universe, he suggests to Gilbertus that he teach the other humans to “ think efficiently .” Erasmus apparently survives the battle when Gilbertus smuggles away his memory core.

Mr Ellis, in his “ Journal of the Embassy to China ( 1816 ),” says of this Chinese cleansing apparatus, that it is “ disgusting ,” but says Mr Erasmus Wilson, “ What would Mr Ellis say of a country in which there existed no cleansing apparatus whatever?

This presentation, “ We the Dene ” gives some initial insight into the intellectual thinking of Erasmus.

As a distinct Dene nation, Erasmus pointed out that they sought to enter into the confederation of Canada as a “ recognized entity ” with their own self-government over a specific land base.

Erasmus states, “ Clearly these agreements have been broken.

In a speech given by Erasmus in 2002, he continues to call for conversation “ nation to nation ,” as the means upon which to build a “ common future ”.

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 .”
