Reviews

meticulously researched [...] The ten essays in this volume [...] are splendidly introduced by editor Karl Enenkel and provide an illuminating look at the ways in which Erasmus was perceived, received, and his work appropriated in a variety of European contexts. Donald K. McKim, Germantown, Tennessee. In: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 1, No. 2 (2014), pp. 303-304.
