Erasmus's Praise of Folly - Desiderius Erasmus

Описание к видео Erasmus's Praise of Folly - Desiderius Erasmus

An oration, of feigned matter, spoken by Folly in her own person. The Praise of Folly begins with a satirical learned encomium, in which Folly praises herself, in the manner of the Greek satirist Lucian (2nd century AD), whose work Erasmus and Sir Thomas More had recently translated into Latin; Folly swipes at every part of society, from lovers to princes to inventors to writers to dice-players to professional liars to hermits.
