Desiderius Erasmus, Rotterdam 1466 - Basle 1536; Dutch<br />
humanist and theologian, (Catholic) critic of the Roman<br />
Church. Several of his works were published by Plantin<br />
(Voet 1980-83, nos. 1126-1135). Engraved by Philips<br />
Galle, verses by ?? (1567-edition), Benito Arias Montano<br />
(1572-edition) and Janus Vitalis (1604-edition).The vers<br />
es by the Sicilian poet Janus Vitalis have been cited from<br />
one of the editions of Paolo Giovio's Elogia doctorum viro<br />
rum, first published in 1546. Copied in reverse after an<br />
engraving by Frans Fiuys, published by Hieronymus Cock<br />
m 1555 (Hollstein 132). In turn, this print follows die pro<br />
totype of Hans Holbein's painted portrait of Erasmus In<br />
Longford Casde, of which numerous copies and versions<br />
exist. No copies have been listed, as it is impossible to<br />
determine whether a print follows Galle's engraving or<br />
one of the many other prints after Holbeins painting.<br />
