THIS IS AN HEIRLOOM EASTON WITH LAVISH GILT IMPRESSIONS TO THE 2-TONE BOARDS AND SPINE. 🍍 NOT INCLUDED... 😃 ABOUT THE BOOK: Erasmus of Rotterdam (c. 1466-1536) is one of the greatest figures of the Renaissance humanist movement, which abandoned medieval pieties in favour of a rich new vision of the individual's potential. Praise of Folly, written to amuse his friend Sir Thomas More, is Erasmus's best-known work. Its dazzling mixture of fantasy and satire is narrated by a personification of Folly, dressed as a jester, who celebrates youth, pleasure, drunkenness and sexual desire, and goes on to lambast human pretensions, foibles and frailties, to mock theologians and monks and to praise the 'folly' of simple Christian piety. Erasmus's wit, wordplay and wisdom made the book an instant success, but it also attracted what may have been sales-boosting criticism. The Letter to Maarten van Dorp, which is a defence of his ideas and methods, is also included. CONDITION: Book and slipcase are in LIKE NEW condition for its age with no discernible flaws. Book does have the original attached, blank bookplate, ready for your personalization (SEE PICS FOR FURTHER DETAILS). NO WRITING FROM PREVIOUS OWNER, ETC. It is a BEAUTIFUL EDITION.
