Erasmus, Desiderius (surnamed Roterdamus). Epistles of Erasmus, arranged in order of time: English translations from the early correspondence, with a commentary confirming the chronological arrangement and supplying further biographical matter, by Francis Morgan Nichols. 2v. ea. [*]$6. Longmans.
“The first volume published in 1901, contained a selection of the letters of Erasmus up to the date of his receipt in Rome of the news of the death of King Henry VII of England (April 21, 1509).... The second volume carries the extant correspondence of Erasmus to the year 1517, when he took up his residence at Louvain. Many of the later letters are not those of Erasmus himself but were written by his correspondents.”—N. Y. Times.
