VII-3A Ordinis septimi tomus tertius pars A

Paraphrasis in Euangelium secundum Ioannem

Series: 

Editor:
Jan Bloemendal
In his ‘Project of the New Testament’ Erasmus also wrote a running commentary on all New Testament books, except Revelation, in the form of a paraphrase. In this volume, the Paraphrase on John – Latin text with critical apparatus, and English introduction and commentary, is edited. In the paraphrase, Erasmus turns out to be a mature interpreter of the Bible, who advocated a new Christianity, which he called ‘the philosophy of Christ’, and implicitly criticized the clergy of his own age.

Jan Bloemendal (Ph.D. in Classics, 1997), is a senior researcher at the Huygens Institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and Privatdozent at the Ruhruniversität Bochum. From 2006 to 2012 he was a professor by special appointment of Neo-Latin Studies at the University of Amsterdam.
“The quality of Bloemendal’s work in this specific volume is beyond question. In producing this critical edition, the editor has employed philological scrupulousness, judiciously handling textual variants between the Vulgate and Erasmus’ translation of the New Testament and meticulously sourcing Church Fathers, medieval masters and Erasmian works, with references to modern critical editions. [...] This edition of the Paraphrasis in Johannem is not only a monument to Erasmian erudition but an indispensable tool for understanding the thought of one of humanism’s giants.”
Antonio Gerace, IEF University of Coimbra; KU Leuven. In: Erasmus Studies, Vol. 46, No. 1 (2026), pp. 77–79.
