I began my work on Erasmus with an introduction titled, Erasmus Solus Eclipsat, and followed it with A Brief Introduction to In Praise of Folly. In serial fashion, I intend to expand on those introductory essays by outlining the movements of the work (in this post) and then providing subsequent posts analyzing and annotating the Moriae Encomium.
