1715 Praise of Folly Erasmus of Rotterdam French Hans HOLBEIN Illustrated ART When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes. Erasmus In 1509, Erasmus composed his famous essay In Praise of Folly , or Encomium Moraie , which was a satirical attack on superstitions and other unconventional traditions in European society. Since its inception in the early 16th-century, it is considered one of the most important works of the Renaissance and helped develop early stages of the Protestant Reformation. Erasmus uses satire to examine doctrine and corruption within the Catholic Church, even though Erasmus was devoted deeply to Catholicism. He concludes In Praise of Folly with statements of supporting Christian Protestantism.
