| Popis: | The Chiliades is Erasmus’ extended Antibarbari, a manual for battling enemies of belles lettres. Erasmus did not stop with adages against ignorance and vulgarity. Adages also assail particular types of scholarly misbehavior: stubbornness, pretension, repetition, distemper, plagiarism, vacuity, superfluity, low- and narrow-mindedness. The scores of insults scattered through the Chiliades answer perennial scholarly needs, providing scholars with the wherewithal to insult, or respond if insulted, with precedents from classical Latin and Greek. |
