Outstanding illustrated work by Erasmus, philosopher, humanist and theologian, considered one of the main figures in European culture. He is today mainly known for his satirical statement In Praise of Folly (1511). When Erasmus plays the role of madness to distract himself, we get this beautiful In Praise of Madness. A satirical and very topical text... Yes, under the guise of a commendation told allegorically by Madness itself, Erasmus finds joy in painting a gloomy picture of a proud and arrogant humanity.
