Aphorisms occupy a central place in the works of Erasmus and Bacon. Erasmus wanted to construct the total library of antiquity through adages; Bacon’s project was to construct the laboratory of modernity, its progress presented in the propagation of aphorisms. Like Erasmus, Bacon believed that the aphorism would stir readers to contemplate and inquire further. But unlike Erasmus, Bacon maintains that this process of discovery is accomplished not through endlessly combing through the archives of the ancients but rather by interrogating the book of the world.

One of the most important topics in the complex didactic work of Erasmus, Adagia, is the question of good government. In this collection of proverbs, Erasmus uses ancient wisdom to establish some crucial principles of political education. He discusses different cases of good and bad rulers and proposes some instructions for his readers. It is not enough to properly instruct a prince; the society he governs must first be instructed. Thus, the Adages serve not only as an institutio principis, but also as a sort of institutio populi.

This article examines Erasmus’ additions to the Adagia in 1533 drawn from comedic playwrights Plautus and Terence. Although Erasmus generally expressed a preference for Terence, Plautus is cited more frequently overall in the Adages and the 133 borrowings from Plautus in the 1533 additions drastically outnumber the 22 from Terence. While scholars have noted this numerical discrepancy, few have hazarded concerted attempts to explain it. This article analyzes the different Plautine and Terentian references in the additions of 1533 and reads them in the context of Erasmus’ other educational writings on classical literature and particularly on characters in comedy. Ultimately, two explanations for Erasmus’ apparent preference for Plautus in 1533 present themselves. First, Plautus presented memorable characters who illustrated the tension between eloquence and morality that characterized the debate in Erasmus’ time over comedy’s role in education. Second, Giambattista Pio’s 1500 edition of Plautus with commentary provided Erasmus with other motivations, such as the opportunity for textual criticism, to focus on Plautus.

This essay reconsiders the relationship between William Tyndale, the English reformer and bible translator, and Erasmus of Rotterdam. Modern Tyndale biographers have distorted their account of this relationship because of their commitment to interpreting events associated with Tyndale through a hagiographical lens. The essay reviews evidence of Tyndale’s knowledge of Erasmus’ writings and argues that Tyndale used Erasmus to support his positions, but also differed from him when occasion demanded. Diglot bibles printed from the 1530s to c. 1550 paired Tyndale’s and Erasmus’ bible translations beside each other and thereby established an interpretation that has endured into modern times.
