Reviews

Amy Nelson Burnett, University of Nebraska-Lincoln:

"These translations should be welcomed not only by Erasmus scholars but by anyone interested in the intellectual, religious, and political developments of this crucial point in the Reformation."

Robert Erle Barham:

"These letters offer substantial material for scholars interested in intellectual and Reformation history and Erasmus’s life and thought during this period. The volume’s presentation, translation, and clarifying annotations make this an excellent scholarly source. "

Darrell Sutton:

‘CE invites readers to penetrate mysteries which could not be known without the publication of these letters… The scholarship is of high order. Well bound and illustrated, the University of Toronto Press continues to enhance Erasmus’ image.’

Willis G. Regier:

‘One of the most ambitious, meticulous, and essential scholarly projects now underway.’

Jerry H. Bentley:

‘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.’

Michael Bauman:

‘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.’

Lisa Jardine:

‘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 – has continued to fulfil the original promise of the distinguished team of editors and the equally distinguished advisory committee.’
