Such an important figure in Christian history. It's astonishing that there are no works by him available in Logos format. "Desiderius Erasmus [1466-1536] was a Christian, humanist scholar; the first editor of the New Testament; a classicist; and a leading voice in the theological debates of the early Reformation in northern Europe. He contended with the reformer Martin Luther (1483-1546), emphasizing the importance of free will in human actions against Luther’s belief in the absolute bondage of the will to sin."

Works of his whose titles roll off the tongue if you've done any study in Reformation history. These, at the very least, should be available. There are quotes and references to them throughout other Logos works which it would be great to have as links:

  • In Praise of Folly
  • Enchiridion
  • Colloquies

Many, if not all, of his works can be found in the public domain. Here are some repositories:
