In Praise of Folly is a satirical essay written by the Dutch humanist and theologian, Desiderius Erasmus, in 1509. The essay is presented as a speech given by Folly, the goddess of foolishness, who praises herself and her followers for their ability to bring joy and pleasure to life. Erasmus uses this platform to critique the religious and social institutions of his time, including the Catholic Church, the clergy, and the nobility. He argues that many of these institutions are corrupt and hypocritical, and that they have lost sight of their true purpose. Throughout the essay, Folly makes witty and humorous observations about human nature and society, highlighting the absurdity of many of our beliefs and practices. She also offers a defense of folly, arguing that it is essential to human happiness and creativity.In Praise of Folly is considered one of the most important works of the Renaissance, and it had a significant impact on the intellectual and cultural life of Europe. It is a masterful example of satire, and it continues to be read and studied by scholars and students around the world.This is a new release of the original 1925 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Written in Latin in 1509 and published in 1511, "Praise of Folly" by Dutch humanist and scholar Desiderius Erasmus is considered one of the most important works of literature in Western Civilization. The essay is a classic satirical work in the style of Lucian, the ancient Greek satirist, in which the Goddess of Folly extols the virtues of frivolousness and indulgence of one's passions, then moves to a darker praise of delusion and madness, and finally turns to a satirical examination of Christian superstition and the corruption of the clergy. In a humorous way, "Praise of Folly" reveals the greed and abuses of power of the Roman Catholic Church at the time and is seen as a catalyst for the Protestant Reformation. Wildly popular immediately after its publication, it was translated into numerous languages during Erasmus's own lifetime. Hugely influential, "Praise of Folly" is regarded as one of the most important literary achievements of the Renaissance and marked the beginning of the modern, enlightened age of science and reason over superstition and ignorance. This masterpiece of humor, irony, and wit is a must-read for all students of Western literature and history. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
