Abstract

The volume examined here is exceptionally bulky because it contains ten different works; it is exceptional, too, by the fact that their composition spread over 33 years, and that seven of the ten are prayers. The larger half of the book, however, is taken up by an elaborate treatise on all aspects of Christian matrimony. The editors have enlisted the cooperation of several translators and annotators, thus adding to the variety of the result. The reviewer, being an older priest brought up on the Vulgate and the Latin liturgy, suggests additions to the rich array of scriptural references. Being steeped in More, he also points out parallels between Erasmus’ prose and the life or writings of his London amicissimus and of Margaret More Roper, who Englished his paraphrase on the Lord’s Prayer.
