Moria de Erasmo Roterodamo
A Critical Edition of the Early Modern Spanish Translation of Erasmus's Encomium Moriae
Series: - Heterodoxia Iberica, Volume: 1
The existence of a early Spanish translation of Erasmusâs Encomium Moriae has been matter of speculation and unsuccessful research for over a century. This volume offers for the first time the edition of a seventeenth-century manuscript discovered at Ets Haim/Livraria Montezinos (Amsterdam) by its editors. They demonstrate that it is not only the first known early modern Spanish translation of Erasmusâs chef-dâÅuvre, but a copy of a much earlier version, composed in mid-sixteenth century.
This scholarly edition has been arranged for an easy textual collation with the canonical edition (ASD IV: 3) and translation (CWE 27) of Erasmusâs Praise of Folly and includes an extensive apparatus of footnotes devoted both to this version and to Erasmusâs Moriae Encomium itself.

âThe Encomium Moriae [â¦] is today given an afterlife by the knowledgeable care of Ledo and den Boer in an annotated English edition that brings to a wider academic audience versed both in Spanish and the lingua franca of the twenty-first century the trials and tribulations of a remarkable translation and a forgotten manuscript.â - A. Izquierdo, Sixteenth Century Journal XLVI: 3 (2015), pp. 707â710
"...the edition constitutes an important milestone in the discipline of Erasmian studies in general, and of Hispanic Erasmism in particular.â - J.M. Pérez Fernández, Renaissance Quarterly LXIX:1 (2016), pp. 331â332
"I do not hesitate to say that this impressive edition will open up new lines of research for scholars of Erasmus and early modern Iberian studies and will continue to be an invaluable tool for both teachers and students for years to come.â - K.D. Howard, Erasmus Studies (previously Erasmus of Rotterdam Society Yearbook) XXXVI:1 (2016), pp. 73â75
