EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image showcases the title page of Erasmus' "The Second Tome or Volume of the Paraphrase of Erasmus upon the New Testament," published in English in 1549. The decorative initial letter "S" gracefully introduces the title, with intricate scrollwork and foliage adorning the edges. The text below reveals that this volume contains Erasmus' paraphrases and commentaries on the Epistles of Paul and other apostles, as well as a paraphrase on the Revelation of St. John. Despite the passage of centuries, the significance of this work remains undiminished. Erasmus (1466-1536), a Dutch humanist and theologian, is renowned for his seminal role in the development of the printed text of the New Testament. His paraphrases and commentaries were instrumental in promoting a more accessible and understandable version of the Bible for the common people. The Epistles, or letters, of Paul and other apostles were a crucial part of the New Testament, providing guidance and wisdom for early Christian communities. Erasmus' paraphrases and commentaries offered fresh interpretations and clarifications, helping to deepen the faith and understanding of countless readers. This English edition, with its elegant title page, is a testament to the enduring appeal and importance of Erasmus' work in the history of Christianity and the Bible. The intricate initial letter, the meticulous text, and the carefully crafted design all serve to underscore the reverence and respect accorded to the sacred text and the wisdom it imparts.
