Erasmus wa Rotterdam

alivyochorwa na Hans Holbein the Younger.]]
**Desiderius Erasmus wa Rotterdam** (Rotterdam, leo nchini Uholanzi, 27 Oktoba 1466 – Basel, leo nchini Uswisi, 12 Julai 1536), anayejulikana kifupi kama **Erasmus** tu, alikuwa Mholanzi aliyechangia sana tapo la Renaissance, pia padri na mwanateolojia wa Kanisa Katoliki aliyehimiza urekebisho wake.

Erasmus alikuwa msomi mkubwa aliyeweza kuandika kwa Kilatini fasaha. Akitumia mbinu za kitaalamu aliandaa matoleo mapya ya Agano Jipya kwa lugha hiyo na kwa Kigiriki. 

Mafundisho yake mbalimbali, yaliyojitokeza katika vitabu maarufu, yaliandaa mwanzo na uenezi wa Uprotestanti, ingawa mwenyewe alikataa kuuunga mkono.

Erasmus alifariki ghafla Basel mwaka 1536.
