Summary "Erasmus" by J. A. C. van Leeuwen is a biographical account of the life and impact of the renowned humanist Desiderius Erasmus, written in the early 20th century. The work meticulously examines Erasmus's significant role during the Renaissance and the Reformation, exploring his contributions to literature, theology, and humanism. The book aims to shed light on the complexities of his character and his influence on contemporary thought as well as on future generations. The opening of the biography sets the stage for Erasmus's life, emphasizing the tumultuous backdrop of the modern age, characterized by the twin currents of Renaissance and Reformation. Van Leeuwen introduces Erasmus as a towering figure, marked by an extraordinary intellect and a prolific output that laid the cornerstone for modern humanist scholarship. The narrative begins with Erasmus's early life in Rotterdam, detailing his childhood and education, his initial foray into monastery life, and his young aspirations for intellectual freedom.
