De Immensa Dei Misericordia Concio
Series:
Editor:
This volume contains some of the theological writings of Erasmus, viz. a sermon on God's immense mercy, a comparison of a virgin and a martyr, a sermon on the young Jesus, a short treatise on the sorrow of Jesus in Gethsemane, the adhortation to read the Bible, which is one of the prefaces of Erasmus' New Testament project, and a commentary on two hymns by Prudentius on Christmas and Epiphany. The volume shows some aspects of Erasmus' theology and spirituality, embedded in the Roman Catholic Church and the liturgy of the mass.
C.S.M. Rademaker ss.cc., member of a Roman-Catholic missionary congregation and a priest, studied philosophy, theology, music and history. He was a teacher of music and history at secondary schools (1961-1971) and Assistant Professor for the history of humanism at the University of Amsterdam (1971-1979). After that he held several ecclesiastical and monastical managerial positions. From 1967 onwards he is closely associated with the edition of the Erasmi Opera Omnia.
André Godin, French historian and theologian, honorary director at the CNRS (Paris) taught history of religion and patristics and was a researcher at the CNRS. From 1992 to 1997 he was responsible for the Centre of European Religious Anthropology at the EHESS. Among his publications are L'Homéliaire de Jean Vitrier (1971) and Erasme lecteur d'Origène (1982). In 2013 his Erasme Vie de Saint Jérôme: Text, Translation and Commentary will be published.
Emily Kearns teaches Greek literature and language at St Hilda's. Her main area of research is Greek religion, but she has also written on Homer, Greek tragedy and Renaissance Latin. She is the author of The Heroes of Attica and editor (with Simon Price) of The Oxford Dictionary of Classical Myth and Religion, and is currently preparing a sourcebook on religion in archaic and classical Greece.

“Like the other volumes in the Amsterdam Opera Omnia of Erasmus, the edition under review is not only a fine piece of scholarship, but it is also beautifully produced.”

“The editors have provided us with detailed historical and textual introductions to the text, as we have become accustomed to with the series, setting each work both in the context of Erasmus’ life and in the broader milieu of early sixteenth century Christianity.”
