Twenty-ninth Annual Erasmus Birthday Lecture: Long and Useless: The Polemic between Erasmus and Béda
- + Show Description - Hide Description
-
This essay investigates the background and printing history of the five works written between 1526 and 1529 that constitute Erasmus' polemic against the Parisian theologian Noël de Bède (Béda). Taken together, these polemical works are more voluminous than any others against his Roman Catholic adversaries. Unlike most of these other apologetic undertakings, moreover, this one concerns not Erasmus' edition of the New Testament but his Paraphrases.

Erasmus and the Natural History of Friendship
- + Show Description - Hide Description
-
In his colloquy Amicitia, Erasmus uses Pliny's Historia naturalis as the primary source for an energetic and inventive exploration of the topic of friendship. Like certain animals and objects in the natural world, friends share a natural affinity, but Erasmus goes further than this natural-historical observation, concluding that the moral life requires from us a more active relationship to our instincts and inclinations. Apposing two senses of the word amicitia, natural affinity and personal friendship, Erasmus ultimately suggests an intimate relationship between natural history and moral philosophy.

The Erasmian Adage in the Controversy with Luther
- + Show Description - Hide Description
-
Despite the absence of allusions to Luther in the Adagia, Erasmus' use of particular adages in his apologiae and letters helps to clarify his shifting strategies in debating not only Luther but his Catholic opponents. Initially interested in distinguishing between Luther and his Catholic critics and intent on bringing his fellow reformer back into the fold with adages softened by explicit framing, Erasmus eventually makes less conspicuous and more offensive use of proverbs, deploying them to conflate his enemies and represent himself as trapped between their partisan agendas.
