Publisher's Synopsis
In the follow-up to his book "The Making of a Humanist", Schoeck follows Erasmus through his restless, strife-torn years of maturity as Renaissance scholar, Catholic reformer and frail but determined "Prince of humanities". The story unfolds amidst the gathering crisis of the Reformation, and touches on the personalities and controversies of the day. Shoeck aims to offer a comprehensive assessment of Erasmian scholarship.
