""Erasmus, master of scholars, is well served by the CWE. James M. Estes brings the Allens’ edition up to date. He adds a letter unknown to the Allens (Ep. 2563A), redates five letters (and explains why), and repairs an omission in Ep. 2688. For both CWE 18 and 19 Estes provides concise introductions that put the letters in historical context—the Diet of Augsburg, the Siege of Vienna, war between Swiss cantons—and within Erasmus’ much larger output of new writings and new editions."" - Willis Goth Regier, University of Illinois (Erasmus Studies)
