edition only some images are offered as examples. The book is useful for those involved in missionary and European penetration in Southeast Asia during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The English translation of the manuscripts—well analyzed and contextualized in this critical edition—will make the two texts accessible to a wide audience of researchers. This is highly recommended reading for all interested in this field of study.

Desiderius Erasmus (1466?-1536) and Pierre Bayle (1647–1706) are two of the most respected figures in the Republic of Letters. Their names are often joined due to similarities in their thinking and concerns, their ties to Rotterdam, their coincidental circumstances, and Bayle’s own praise of Erasmus. Bayle read Erasmus carefully, quoted him often, cited him more often still, and noted his flaws. This paper tracks Bayle’s explicit references to Erasmus in his journalism, books, and letters. It indicates what he read and what he apparently preferred among Erasmus’ writings. It observes Bayle’s rare ensemble of Erasmian affinities, his contributions to Erasmus scholarship, and his uses of Erasmus in his own work.

This article responds to the philosopher Alexander Nehamas’ argument that “no gesture, look, or bodily disposition, no attitude, feeling, or emotion, no action and no situation is associated with friendship firmly enough to make its representation a matter for the eye.” The article proposes a “humanist exception” to Nehamas’ general rule. Building on Lorna Hutson’s argument that humanism “textualized” friendship, I contend that in the early modern period scholars and artists associated with humanism were engaged in the development of a set of recognizable signs of friendship connected to the distinctive humanist culture of the book and associated activities of reading, writing, and circulating texts. The article offers a case study of Quentin Metsys’ diptych of Erasmus and Pieter Gillis (1517) and then applies the lessons gleaned from that work to a picture that Nehamas cites as evidence of his claim, Jacopo Pontormo’s Two Men with a Passage from Cicero’s “On Friendship” (ca. 1522). Both pictures, I contend, not only depict friendship but also promote humanist ideals of friendship to the viewer.
这篇文章回应了哲学家亚历山大·尼哈玛斯的论点,即“没有任何手势、表情或身体倾向,没有任何态度、感觉或情感,没有任何行动和情况与友谊紧密相连,足以使友谊的表现成为一件肉眼可见的事。”这篇文章提出了尼哈玛斯一般规则的“人道主义例外”。基于Lorna Hutson关于人文主义“文本化”友谊的论点,我认为,在现代早期,与人文主义相关的学者和艺术家参与了一系列可识别的友谊迹象的发展,这些迹象与该书独特的人文主义文化以及阅读、写作和流传文本的相关活动有关。这篇文章对昆汀·梅斯的伊拉斯谟和皮特·吉利斯(1517年)的三联画进行了个案研究,然后将从这幅作品中吸取的教训应用到尼哈玛斯引用的一幅照片上,即雅克波·蓬托莫(Jacobo Pontomo)从西塞罗(Cicero)的《论友谊》(On Friendship)(约1522年)中创作的《两个人有一段路》(Two Men with a Passage),不仅描绘了友谊,而且向观众宣传了人文主义的友谊理想。

We study the paratexts in Erasmus’ imprints with Johann then Hieronymus Froben of Basel between 1514 and 1536. From Valentina Sebastiani’s bibliography of Johann Froben we observe that Erasmus was a more abundant paratexter than other authors who published with Johann Froben. We supplement that work with a bibliography of Erasmus’ imprints with Hieronymus Froben. We note trends across the Erasmus-Froben corpus, including: a remarkable number of imprints, equally balanced between new editions and re-editions, abundant dedications without correlation to format, indexes in folio volumes especially, a growing attention to errata lists over time. These patterns shed light on one author-printer partnership but also on more general trends in learned publishing in the early 16th century.
