Desiderius Erasmus (1467-1536), “born at Rotterdam…educated at Daventer. Entered among the canons regular 1486. Ordained a priest 1492. Visited England 1497. Resided at Louvain, Padua, and Rome 1501 to 1510, when he returned to England and obtained the Margaret Professorship of Divinity and the Greek Lectureship at Cambridge. Went to Basil 1514, where he edited the Greek New Testament, the works of St. Jerome, and other works…He was considered the glory of his age and country, and contributed more than any other to the restoration of learning in Europe, and to the Reformation, although he did not join the Reformers.” – Darling, Cyclopedia Bibliographia.
