Erasmus
Desiderius Erasmus was one of the most influential writers of his time and widely acclaimed as the principal Northern humanist. He was, however, not only a man of letters but also a shrewd observer of society, a sharp critic of the institutional church, and a scholar on the cutting edge of biblical studies. Although not a systematic philosopher or theologian, he left his stamp on the intellectual milieu of his time and was regarded by Catholic apologists as the inspirational source of the Lutheran reformation. In this book, Erika Rummel introduces readers to Erasmus' ideas on education, piety, social order, and the epistemology underpinning his thought. The educational programme proposed by ...

Rudolph Agricola
Rudolph Agricola (1443-1485) is rightly famous for singlehandedly bringing the Italian Renaissance to the North. 'Rudolph Agricola: Six Lives and Erasmus' Testimonies' offers for the first time six biographies of Agricola, carefully edited, translated and annotated, providing a vivid image of cultural and intellectual life in the fifteenth century. The addition of fifty of the most important testimonies from Erasmus helps to evalute the significance of Agricola's work for the emerging humanist of the North. This edition of sources supplements the volume of Agricola's letters (BLN, 2002) and fills a gap in our knowledge about a great man of letters and corrects a number of persistent misconceptions in modern scholarship.

Conversing with God
A close reading of Erasmus' (d. 1536) work on prayer and spirituality that analyses how he understood prayer and demonstrates how his publications on prayer form part of the larger pastoral program that was implemented by the printing press.
The Politics of Emotion
The Politics of Emotion explores the intersection of powerful emotional states—love, melancholy, grief, and madness—with gender and political power on the Iberian Peninsula from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. Using an array of sources—literary texts, medical treatises, and archival documents—Nuria Silleras-Fernandez focuses on three royal women: Isabel of Portugal (1428–1496), queen-consort of Castile; Isabel of Aragon (1470–1498), queen-consort of Portugal; and Juana of Castile (1479–1555), queen of Castile and its empire. Each of these women was perceived by their contemporaries as having gone "mad" as a result of excessive grief, and all three were related to Is...
