This lecture explores Erasmus’ beliefs about the life of the healthy Christian humanist, from boy student to mature scholar, through the prism of ‘history of emotions’. It appraises Erasmus’ place in the longer history of scholarly hygiene, a tradition of writing about the physical, psychological, and spiritual health of scholars. What for example does Erasmus have to say about those conditions with which early modern intellectuals were so frequently associated, viz. melancholy and ‘hypochondriac’ disease? Does he pathologize particular kinds of intellectual activity, and what preventatives or remedies does he prescribe for the occupational hazards, if not diseases, of learning? Finally, what was Erasmus’ view of the authority of contemporary learned medicine in relation to these matters?

This article offers a commented inventory of the complete works of Augustine that Erasmus published in 1528–1529. The inventory is preceded by an overview of Erasmus’ publications on the Fathers of the Church and previous editorial work on Augustine undertaken by other printers, which helps place the edition of Erasmus into context.

Virgil’s Georgics was a source of pacifistic thinking for Erasmus, More, and Vives, who used figurative readings of the poem to reinforce their notions about the incompatibility of war and Christian society. In doing so, they furthered an interpretive tradition begun by Mancinelli, Valeriano, Landino, and other humanists of the Quattrocento, who were intrigued by the poem’s political potential. In the Enchiridion, Querela Pacis, Utopia, and de Concordia et Discordia, the Georgics functioned as a heuristic for thinking through current events and critiquing violence within Christendom. From soils to trees to cattle and bees, Virgil’s poem supplied Erasmus, More, and Vives with diverse tools for deflating militaristic ideology and imagining alternatives to the status quo. At a time when late scholastics were debating the finer points of iustum bellum, the humanists were moving the discussion into an entirely new direction, using Virgil to envision the abolition of war between Christian states.
