Abstract
Erasmus shared with many Renaissance men a more than passing interest in biographical writing. He recommended Plutarch's Lives on several occasions, edited and annotated Suetonius' Lives of the Twelve Caesars, and more importantly, several times tried his own hand at life-writing. In addition to biographical sketches of his contemporaries More, Colet, Vitrier, and Warham, Erasmus wrote lives of Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine, Chrysostom, and other early Church Fathers to serve as introductions to the Froben editions of their works.
