    About this ebook

    Originally published in 1873, this early work by Robert Blackley Drummond is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It is a biography of Catholic priest and theologian Erasmus of Rotterdam and details his influence during the 15th and 16th centuries in Europe. This fascinating work is highly recommended for anyone interested in the life of Erasmus and religious history.
