DESCRIPTION
In French.
Erasmus' satirical attack on superstitions, and other traditions central to European society and the Western church.
Erasmus wrote this during a week spent sojourning with Sir Thomas More, at his house in Bucklersbury. Originally written in Latin, this work is considered to be one of the most important works of the Renaissance, and was fundamental of the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation.
