	Erasmus of Formiae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Erasmus of Formiae (died about 303), also known as Saint Elmo, is the patron saint of sailors.
		Erasmus or Elmo is also one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, shadowy figures of Christian mythology who were venerated especially in Central Europe as intercessors.
		Erasmus was then thrown into a pit of snakes and worms, and boiling oil and sulfur were poured on him but "he lay therein as he had lain in cold water, thanking and loving God".

	Desiderius Erasmus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite being illegitimate, Erasmus was cared for by his parents until their early deaths from the plague in 1483, and then given the best education available to a young man of his day in a series of monastic or semi-monastic schools.
		Erasmus held himself aloof from all entangling obligations; yet he was in a singularly true sense the center of the literary movement of his time.
		Erasmus, on the other hand, preferred for the prince to be loved, and suggested that the prince needed a well-rounded education in order to govern justly and benevolently and avoid becoming a source of oppression.

	Erasmus by HOLBEIN, Hans the Younger
		Born in Rotterdam in 1469, Desiderius Erasmus was the greatest European scholar of the 16th century.
		The scale of Erasmus' bulk within the picture space is prodigious; previously, scholars had been portrayed in book-lined studies, surrounded by the tools of their trade, musing as does Saint Jerome in Dürer's woodcut of 1514, complete with shaggy lion.
		Erasmus lived through writing and above all, by correspondence; ironically, in 1533 he was to censure Holbein for delaying in Antwerp which was preventing Erasmus' mail being delivered (Holbein being the bearer).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Desiderius Erasmus
		Erasmus may now be said to have reached the acme of his fame; he was in high repute throughout all Europe, and was regarded as an oracle both by princes and scholars.
		Though Erasmus had prepared the way for him, Luther was greatly dissatisfied with him because of his strongly rationalistic concept of original sin and the doctrine of grace.
		While Erasmus, by his relations with the Roman Curia, was able to checkmate the aforesaid and similar hostile complaints, in Germany he continued to be regarded with distrust and even with hatred, sentiments that acquired new strength when, in spite of repeated entreaties, he refused to appear publicly against Luther.

		Saint, knight, Lord Chancellor of England, author and martyr, born in London, 7 February, 1477-78; executed at Tower Hill, 6 July, 1535.

		In the epitaph which More himself composed twenty years later he calls her "uxorcula Mori", and a few lines in one of Erasmus' letters are almost all we know of her gentle, winning personality.

		There is, mind you, a continuing and impressive scholarly tradition on Erasmus (largely outside the institutional frame of Classics), which has often written brilliantly both on individual works and on the impact of Erasmus on his historical moment in religion, education, and scholarship.
		Erasmus' love of tradition meant that 'almost in spite of himself Erasmus came to respect the intellectual heritage of the Middle Ages, not for its own sake but as a necessary medium which had handed down the essentials of Christendom from the first centuries to the present'.
		Especially Erasmus as a Translator of the Classics (1985); The Humanist-Scholastic Debate in the Renaissance and Reformation (1995); and, perhaps less obviously, Erasmus' Annotations on the New Testament (1981).

		But it was not very long before the utterances of Luther shocked and disgusted him; in 1529 he had condemned them in his spirited little masterpiece, Dialogue On Heresies; then, in his Supplication Of Souls, he pointed out the falsehood of the Lutheran view of monastic vows and indulgences.
		Erasmus felt that he himself had died, for "we had but one soul between us"; he said that he had now no further wish to live, and a year later he too was dead.
