AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare original edition of this revised and corrected version of one of the most widely circulated works by the humanist, intended for Latin instruction and the moral education of young readers.
Erasmus's Colloquia, initially conceived as educational dialogues, combine linguistic exercises with moral, social, and religious reflections, offering a lively overview of daily practices, spiritual debates, and satirical critiques of his time.
The dialogues address various themes — friendship, marriage, war, superstition, piety — blending humor, irony, and philosophical depth, making them a tool that is both linguistic and moral.
This edition testifies to Erasmus's editorial legacy, whose Colloquies were constantly reissued and adapted, and illustrates how the Elzevir presses contributed to the canonization of humanist classics in European culture.
