The facts as they have been left to us by Erasmus, and which Mr. Mangan has here gathered together in compact form, give us an Erasmus far different from this imagined one. In presenting this study of the life and activities of Erasmus to the public, the author realizes that it differs in many respects from the conventional biography of him to which we have become accustomed. This has been less a matter of intent than a direct consequence of the plan which Mangan followed throughout the work: of having him speak for himself always, rather than attempting to interpret his at times so kaleidoscopic mind.Mangan, John Joseph is the author of 'Life, Character and Influence of Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam Derived from a Study of His Works and Correspondence 1927', published 2003 under ISBN 9780766171862 and ISBN 0766171868.
