The Correspondence of Erasmus

‘The Toronto Erasmus project is a magnificent achievement, one of the scholarly triumphs of our time. The succession of fine volumes – both in quality of content and of design and production – since the edition began in 1974 has continued to fulfil the original promise of the distinguished team of editors and the equally distinguished advisory committee.’

~Lisa Jardine, Common Knowledge

‘Academic publishing does not get any better than this: durably bound, expertly annotated, beautifully translated editions of the works of one of the finest scholars in the illustrious history of the Christian Church.’

~Michael Bauman, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

‘The Collected Works of Erasmus project has long since established a new standard for scholarly translation series to emulate. Not only have the English versions represented Erasmus’ writings in crisp and accessible language, but meticulous editorial scholarship has placed the author’s  thought and work in their proper intellectual contexts.’

~Jerry H. Bentley, Renaissance Quarterly

‘This current volume retains the impeccable scholarship, careful attention to detail, and beautiful high-quality materials and printing that has characterized the series… A very valuable and much appreciated addition.’

~Gregory D. Dodds, Renaissance Quarterly vol 69:02:2016

"Like the preceding two volumes of the translated correspondence, CWE 16 has been admirably edited by James E. Estes; Alexander Dalzell, who translated the letter in CWE 15, has again put Erasmus’ complicated Latin into readable English prose."

~Amy Nelson Burnett, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Erasmus Studies, vol 38
