Jacques Chomarat, Grammaire et rhétorique chez Erasme (Paris: Les Belles Lettres, 1981). The same view of Erasmus as a ‘rhetorical theologian’ is expressed by Manfred Hoffmann, Rhetoric and Theology: The Hermeneutics of Erasmus (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1994). However, Chomarat highlights rhetorical issues, Hoffmann theological ones.

Barnett, ‘Erasmus and Hermeneutics’. She quotes (n. 5) an illuminating passage from Erasmus’ Ecclesiastes (1535), ASDV-5:248–250, ll. 128–132: ‘Nec absurdum est hoc quoque voluisse Spiritum Sanctum, ut Scriptura nonnunquam varios gignat sensus, pro cuiusque affectu. Sicuti manna cuique sapiebat quod volebat. Nec haec est Scripturarum incertitudo, sed foecunditas.’ (CWE 68:962: ‘… nor is it absurd that the Holy Spirit also intended for Scripture to give rise to a variety of meanings according to each person’s feeling, in the same way that manna had for each person the flavour that he desired; and this is not the uncertainty of Scripture but its fertility.’).
