Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS -- ABBREVIATIONS -- INTRODUCTION -- 1. Erasmus and Saint Jerome: The Close Bond and Its Significance -- 2. Erasmus and His Edition of Saint Hilary -- 3. Erasmus and Aldus Manutius -- 4. Erasmus' Adagia and More's Utopia -- 5. More, Montaigne, and Matthew Arnold: Thoughts on the Utopian Vision -- 6. The Jesuits, Humanism, and History -- NOTES
Summary: Olin’s focus in this collection of essays is the historical period of the early sixteenth century, the juncture of the Renaissance and the Reformation. Providing an in-depth alternative to the standard treatment – so often limited to the classical revival – this work concerns itself with the unique link between humanism and the great literary works of the period, and, in particular, the patristic scholarship inherent in Erasmus’ ideals of reform. Olin specifically take into account the movements of New Learning and Humanism defining the cultural break between Medieval scholasticism and the renaissance of interest in the literature of antiquity.
