Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus

    Erasmus of Rotterdam was a preeminent humanist and theologian who wrote in pure Latin. His meticulous work on biblical texts, particularly the New Testament, introduced new perspectives that influenced both the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. While critical of church abuses, he sought reform from within, advocating a middle way with deep respect for traditional faith, rejecting radical stances. His legacy lies in his masterful synthesis of classical scholarship and spiritual depth, earning him the title "Prince of the Humanists."
