Abstract
Erasmus visited England six times, including an extended stay between 1511 and 1514. Each of his visits resulted in translations, either directly or indirectly. His collaboration with Thomas More on translations of Lucian’s dialogues was the direct result of a meeting of kindred spirits. Both men studied Greek and were attracted by Lucian’s wit. The collaborative venture served as a tangible link and testimony to their friendship. By contrast, the translation of Euripides’s Iphigeneia was born of irritation. When Erasmus presented William Warham, Archbishop of Canterbury, with a copy of his translation of Euripides’s Hecuba, the reward was disappointing, and a friend explained the reason: the archbishop was wary of authors presenting their works to more than one patron. Stung by this insinuation, Erasmus completed a second translation, Iphigeneia, and published both works with a dedication to Warham. The archbishop eventually became one of Erasmus’s most generous patrons, presenting him with a living in Kent in 1512. Several short translations from Plutarch’s Moralia served Erasmus as New Year’s presents during his next visit. Among the recipients were Cardinal Wolsey and Henry VIII. Travel to England provided Erasmus with fertile ground for his work as a translator.

Although polemics dominated Erasmus' literary output in the last two decades of his life, the controversies remain among the most neglected pieces in the corpus of his writings. On a different level, they add a dimension often missing in portraits of Erasmus. Usually depicted as the urbane and witty humanist who enjoyed great popularity and prestige, he appears in the works of his critics as a contentious and duplicitous "theologizer" who inspired disdain and loathing.
The print edition is available as a set of two volumes (9789060044018).

Throughout the Middle Ages dialectical disputation was the prevailing method of scholarly inquiry. In the fifteenth century, however, humanists challenged the scholastic method, proposing instead historical and philological approaches. This volume focuses on the polemic over the right approach to biblical studies. It describes manifestations of the controversy, ranging from its beginnings in quattrocento Italy to Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and scholars associated with the papal court in the sixteenth century. Erasmus, the most prominent biblical humanist of his day, served as a lightning rod for many of the controversies discussed here and has also received much attention from modern scholars. The chapters offered here seek to lend a voice also to Erasmus’ critics and to right the balance in a historical narrative that has traditionally favoured the humanists. Contributors are John Monfasani, Daniel Menager, Carlos del Valle Rodríguez, Alejandro Coroleu, Charles Fantazzi, Guy Bedouelle, James Farge, Cecilia Asso, Marcel Gielis, Paolo Sartori, Paul F. Grendler, Nelson H. Minnich, Ronald K. Delph
