Desiderius Erasmas Roterodamus is considered to be one of the most influential thinkers of the Northern Renaissance because of his vast number of translations, books, essays, prayers and letters. He was one of the major figures of Dutch and Western culture.
His medieval Dutch childhood ended in him being orphaned and impoverished.
He went to Paris, Queen’s College Cambridge and Turin universities.
He wrote in a spontaneous, copious and natural Latin style. He prepared new Latin and Greek scholarly editions of the New Testament with annotations and commentary. He wrote a vast number of books.(See list of Books by Erasmus)
*His influential middle road approach disappointed, and even angered, partisans, in both camps.
He remained a member of the Catholic church all his life, remaining committed to reforming the church from within.
