EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact - a letter from Desiderius Erasmus to Nicholas Everaerts, dated 24th December 1525. The artist himself, Erasmus, wrote this letter in Latin from Basle to Dr. Nicholas Everaerts, the President of Holland. The content of the letter covers various topics including Martin Luther's marriage, Erasmus' unsuccessful attempts for peace, his Apologia against Carthusian Petrus Sutor (Basle, 1525), the passing of his dear friend Martin Van Dorp on May 31st, 1525, and reflections on the peasant insurrection in Germany. The intricate handwriting and attention to detail in this manuscript make it an exquisite example of sixteenth-century correspondence. It not only provides insight into religious matters but also highlights Erasmus' humanist beliefs and his dedication to promoting peace amidst turbulent times. Displayed as part of the third series of Facsimiles at the British Museum Department of Manuscripts in London (1899), this colorful print captures both the intellectual depth and artistic beauty inherent in such historical documents. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these letters continue to hold immense value for scholars and enthusiasts alike. Erasmus' words resonate with us today as we contemplate how religion intersects with politics and society while striving for harmony among diverse perspectives. This photograph is a testament to our shared history and reminds us that understanding our past can guide us towards building a more peaceful future.
