Erasmus of Rotterdam (Geer Geertsz) (1466 - 1536) Dutch scholar and leading humanist of the Renaissance era, who taught and
studied all over Europe and was a prolific writer. His pioneer translation of
the Greek New Testament (with parallel Latin text, 1516) exposed the Vulgate as
a second-hand document. Although opposed to dogmatism and abuse of church power,
he remained impartial during Martin Luther’s conflict with the pope. |
la guèra la par bèla se üno an la conos |
la pegio pace l’è senpar mei che la guera pusè giusta |
l’amor ricanbià tra chi insegna e chi inpara ‘l è al prim e al püsè inportant scalin ch’at porta al saver |
