Collected Works of Erasmus

Mehr zum Buch

Erasmus engages in a fierce intellectual battle through three polemic works directed at Alberto Pio, Prince of Carpi. Pio's persistent critiques, which challenge Erasmus's views on church practices and suggest his alignment with Luther, provoke a strong response. The writings reflect the tensions of the Reformation era, showcasing Erasmus's defense of his beliefs against accusations of heresy and highlighting the conflicts between humanist thought and traditional church authority.
