Regarding Erasmus, Nolan stated:

" Erasmus stated in his De ratione studii that for Latin Grammar, there was " no better guide than Lorenzo Valla.

Erasmus stated that teachers should be of gentle disposition and have unimpeachable morals.

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 said of Colet: “ When I listen to Colet it seems to me that I am listening to Plato himself ”.

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.

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.

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

Johann Froben also operated his printing house in Basel and was notable for publishing works by Erasmus.

In 1965 he received a joint Erasmus Prize with film director Ingmar Bergman and in 1971 he was made a Commander of the national order of the Legion of Honor by the French Minister of Culture Jacques Duhamel at the Cannes Film Festival.

She was also a patron of Renaissance humanism, and a friend of the great scholars Erasmus of Rotterdam and Saint Thomas More.

In 2012, he was awarded the Erasmus Prize, an annual award for a person who has made an exceptional contribution to European culture, society or social science, " for his ability to translate the cultural significance of science and technology to a broad audience.

Erasmus Darwin ( 12 December 1731 – 18 April 1802 ) was an English physician who turned down George III's invitation to be a physician to the King.

Erasmus Alberus ( c. 1500 – 1553 ), German humanist, reformer, and poet, was born in the village of Bruchenbrücken ( now part of Friedberg, Hesse ) about the year 1500.

– 12 July 1536 ), known as Erasmus of Rotterdam, was a Dutch Renaissance humanist, Catholic priest, social critic, teacher, and theologian.

Erasmus was a classical scholar who wrote in a pure Latin style.

Erasmus lived through the Reformation period, but while he was critical of the Church, he did not join the cause of the Reformers.

Erasmus died in Basel in 1536 and was buried in Basel Minster.

Erasmus was his baptismal name, given after St. Erasmus of Formiae.

Desiderius Erasmus was born in Holland on 28 October in the late 1460s.

He was christened " Erasmus " after the saint of that name.

Although he was born out of wedlock, Erasmus was cared for by his parents until their early deaths from the plague in 1483.

No personal denunciation was made of Erasmus during his lifetime, however, and he took pains to put distance in later life with these earlier episodes by condemning sodomy in his works, and praising sexual desire in the context of marriage between men and women.

His residence at Leuven, where he lectured at the Catholic University, exposed Erasmus to much criticism from those ascetics, academics and clerics hostile to the principles of literary and religious reform and the loose norms of the Renaissance adherents to which he was devoting his life.

Erasmus held himself aloof from entangling obligations, yet he was the centre of the literary movement of his time.

This portion was printed in 1514, but publication was delayed until 1522 by waiting for the Old Testament portion, and the sanction of Pope Leo X. Erasmus had been working for years on two projects: a collation of Greek texts and a fresh Latin New Testament.

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

Most of the manuscripts were, however, late Greek manuscripts of the Byzantine textual family and Erasmus used the oldest manuscript the least because " he was afraid of its supposedly erratic text.

Erasmus saw him as a dumb brutal man preferring physical strength over wisdom.

* Expertise ( ability, skills ) ( the power of medicine to bring about health ; another famous example would be " in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king " – Desiderius Erasmus )

A story referring to demonic jealousy was told by Erasmus ( 16th century ), who blamed a demon for the fire that destroyed a village in Germany in 1533, saying that a demon loved deeply a young woman, but discovered that she had also sexual relationships with a man.

The title alludes to a Latin proverb quoted by Erasmus: " In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king ".

It was against this background that Charles Darwin, grandson of the Derby man and lunar society member, Erasmus, would re-awaken the conflict between science and religious belief once again half a century later, with the publication of his book The Origin of Species in 1859.

Erasmus, who knew More and his family well, described Roper as a young man " who is wealthy, of excellent and modest character and not unacquainted with literature ".

In 1973, the Medical Faculty Rotterdam and the Netherlands School of Economics merged to become Erasmus University Rotterdam – the first university in the Netherlands named after a person, a man to whom Rotterdam owes the reputation it has held for centuries in the academic world.

Emma Darwin broke the news to Charles, who commented that he had seen Erasmus dying slowly " for many years ", not " a happy man " but always kindhearted, clearheaded and affectionate.

And yet, while Cicero was considered the “ patron saint of the Renaissance era ” – a title that would become fundamentally problematic for a number of Christians because of pagan beliefs – Erasmus came to be known as the “ prince of humanists ” as many of his contemporaries esteemed him as “‘ man born to bring back literature .’”
