Overview

"This volume contains the first translation of Erasmus' response to two of his fiercest Spanish critics. Erasmus' thorough engagement with the New Testament, in particular his revision of the Vulgate translation, aroused much controversy, especially in the orthodox Roman Catholic country of Spain. Erasmus had to fight fierce polemics with several people, including two Spanish scholars, Diego Lpez Ziga and Sancho Carranza de Miranda, who were both connected to the University of Alcal. This quarrel lasted from 1520 to 1524, with a late response by Erasmus in 1529. The discussion started as a philological one, regarding ""correct"" Latin, but turned into a dogmatic-theological fight over the issues of whether the New Testament speaks of Christ as God, whether one can apply the term servus (servant) to Christ, and whether the sacramental character of matrimony can be deduced from Ephesians 5:32. The five texts in this volume are, for the first time, translated and annotated. With elucidating notes and an introduction, the volume offers wonderful insight into a fierce and fundamental polemic over the New Testament."

Reviews

This meticulous translation lets one breathe the smoke of Erasmus' 'Spanish War' of the early 1520s and also seize the interest of its skirmishes and alarums for the social campaign that he was prosecuting in those years through his publication of New Testament texts, annotations, and paraphrases. - Mark Vessey, Principal of Green College and Professor of English Literature, University of British Columbia
