Overview
One of the most important figures of the 16th century, Desiderius Erasmus was a leading reformist and Renaissance humanist. Through his works and letters, Erasmus championed that true religion was a matter of inward devotion rather than outward symbols of ceremony and ritual, and sought to reform aspects of the Church from within. His works showed an astonishing intelligence, razor-sharp wit, and an authentic love for God and humanity. Soon after publication, his works were translated and read all over Europe.
The Desiderius Erasmus Collection (17 vols.) contains all of Erasmus' major works and more. In Praise of Folly, one of Erasmus' best-known books, is considered one of the most notable works of the Renaissance humanists. Against War and The Complaint of Peace still hold their own as some of the best Christian anti-violence literature written. The Colloquies of Erasmus is satire at its finest—funny, inspiring, rich with knowledge, poignant, captivating, and entertaining. And Francis Morgan Nichols' 3-volume anthology of Erasmus' letters show the depth and compassion of a man who's influence would change the world forever.

"Reformer and Humanist. Strange combo, but makes for good reading."
It's not so strange for those of us from the Christian Humanist fold. Although later Anabaptists were loathe to mention it (or perhaps unaware), we owe a good deal of our interpretations to Erasmus of Rotterdam. One looks at the Biblical text through colored glasses. The early Anabaptists, to some extent, looked at it through Erasmian colored glasses.
Let's push it over, guys! Way over!

It is to prick the interest of any one who may find the resource interesting. [^o)]
It is to prick the interest of any one who want to understand why Luther wrote so much about him.[8-)]
It is to prick the interest or any one who wants to get the most bang for there buck or in my case a peso.[:D]

For some reason the forum did not like my use of "p r i c k" used as a verb in the preciding post.No. 131: The Duplicity of Desiderius Erasmus
Between November 30 and December 14, 1531"Erasmus is an eel. Nobody can grasp him except Christ alone. He is a double-dealing man. When Elector Frederick44 asked him in Cologne why Luther was condemned, what wrong he had done, Erasmus replied, ‘He has done much wrong who attacks the monks in their bellies and the pope in his crown.’ Frederick said to Spalatin, ‘He is a strange fellow. One does not know what to make of him.’ He at once recognized the man’s cunning. It was the remarkable astuteness of Satan that captivated the world when he attacked the superstitions of the pope. Then he corrupted the youth with the wicked opinions he expressed in his colloquies.46 God keep him in check! The stratagem of Satan is violent."
How about the ablity to quickly check out Luthers statements about Erasmus in context!
Hence the value of Logos![B]

The word you used is incorrect. You were hoping to pique their interest. The other word you used can be used in vulgar and non-vulgar connotations.

May be "Pique" would have been better.[:|]
I still feel that the other word can still be used in many non vulgar connotactions (as I was using it) in the sence of GOADing (with out using a cattle prod) the rail sitters into acction.[:D]
Back to the real topic at hand, it is still a good price and we all know what happen the min it reaches pre pub!

I can never decide whether to laugh or cry at the filter. When the **** comes up, it makes me think of the vulgar meaning when if the word itself came up, the vulgar sense would not occur to me. Seems like Logos is planting vulgar thoughts in my mind - deliberately[:P]

I didn´t even know there was a filter untill I posted, and saw it was too late to edit it to put in another word more "aceptable"
Oh well, as they say (at least I say it) "Damed if I do, Damed if I dont." [:$]

What really amused me was when Logos put The Works of John Dick (4 vols.) up at CP. (Yes, folks, that's D-i-c-k.) I mean, decent enough to sell, but not decent enough to be mentioned on the forums? That's really ridiculous! (For some reason I don't think anyone ever wrote a single post about that CP... -- though I seriously considered doing it, just to expose the absurdity of the situation.)
