Excerpt from The Praise of Folly HE works of Erasmus, which have so greatly enriched the literature of the world, have survived the lapse of centuries that have passed; and, because they contain that one touch of nature which makes the whole world kin, they will survive the lapse of untold centuries yet to come. His description of the bigotry and superstition - the ignorance and credulity of the masses of his day, is as true now as it was when first given to the world and his account of the pleadings and preachings - the pretensions and presumptions of the dominant priesthood - is as ap plicable to the twentieth, as to the fifteenth century in which it was written. Under the pleasing mask of Folly our author has uttered truths which are indeed sublime, and in the witty language of the Jester he has exposed the fallacies of that Faith which has, not inaptly, been defined by an inspired writer in the New Testament, as the evidence of things not seen, and the substance of things hoped for.

In Praise of Folly is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in 1511. Inspired by Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli's De Triumpho Stultitiae, it is a satirical attack on superstitions and other traditions of European society as well as on the western Church. Erasmus revised and extended the work, which he originally wrote in the space of a week while sojourning with Sir Thomas More at More's estate in Bucklersbury. In Praise of Folly is considered one of the most notable works of the Renaissance and played an important role in the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation.

Excerpt from Folly There she hung, like any Juliet from her balcony, but did not perceive her husband at the foot of the stairs until he tossed a tiny bunch of celandines against her cheek. She caught the posy and glanced down upon him calmly and critically. She might well have been think ing that, burly and ruddy as he was, he made no bad figure of a country squire; but he grew uncomfortably aware that he was hot and mud-splashed and entirely out of harmony with her daintiness. She tossed back his flowers with the comment: They don't match my gown - see? In silence he returned the despised blossoms to his buttonhole, as she asked indifferently: Roads bad?

NOT YOUR PROFESSOR'S FOLLY. Renaissance-era theologian Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536) wrote In Praise of Folly in the early sixteenth century. A seminal work, it has remained in print ever since. In Praise of Folly first appeared in Latin and was eventually translated into various European languages. An English translation was rendered by clergyman White Kennett (1660-1728) in 1683. Kennett's text remained the standard English translation well into the 20th century. In 1925, Chicago publisher Pascal Covici brought out an edition of In Praise of Folly based on the Kennett translation. A work of many hands, the Covici Edition was limited to eleven hundred numbered copies and sold out quickly. Since then, it has been available only in libraries and in the antiquarian marketplace. The present work is based on the Covici Edition of 1925, includes revisions and corrections to the text, and retains the lengthy introduction entitled "In Praise of Erasmus," written by then Leader of the Chicago Ethical Society Horace J. Bridges. Also included are a selection of the original illustrations by Anthony Angarola, Hans Holbein, Gene Markey, and Paul L. McPharlin, and several other Holbein illustrations that accompanied previous editions of Erasmus' work. Arguably not your professor's Folly (though with all due respect, perhaps it should be), this edition of In Praise of Folly by Desiderius Erasmus is intended to reacquaint modern readers with one of the classics of Renaissance humanism.
