Description: "The eminent Dutch historian, Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) has a special sympathy for the complex, withdrawn personality of Erasmus and for his advocacy of intellectual and spiritual balance in a quarrelsome age." "Written as a companion to Huizinga's masterwork The Waning of the Middle Ages and first published in 1924, this biography of the sixteenth-century scholar / humanist has rightfully become a classic."--Jacket.
