Description
"ERASMUS. [RICHARD (Jean)]. The Views of Erasmus of Rotterdam, in Accordance with Those of the Catholic Church, on All Controversial Points. Cologne, Adrian the Younger, 1688. In-12, contemporary marbled fawn sheepskin, plain decorated spine, triple gilt fillet framing the covers, red edges. Portrait of Erasmus on the frontispiece. First and only edition of this important work. Jean Richard, a Jansenist prior of Notre-Dame-de-Beaulieu Sainte-Avoye, defends Erasmus’s Catholic and Roman orthodoxy against the criticisms of his enemies. A. Stegmann regards this work as a defence of the Jansenists, whose situation can be likened to that of Erasmus and his own time. "
