December 10, 2017 #50 – Latin texts 23: Erasmus' perilous winter journey
I've been getting e-mails asking me to record something by the 16th century
humanist Erasmus. Since I enjoy his work and his eclectic Latin, I looked
through a volume. I stumbled upon a letter of his that I've read together
with several students the last couple of years. In it he describes a
dangerous journey.
