第 43 頁 - Erasmus was a rather small man, slight, but well-built ; he had, as became a Teuton, blue eyes, yellowish or light brown hair, and a fair complexion. The face is a remarkable one. It has two chief characteristics, — quiet, watchful sagacity, — and humour, -half playful, half sarcastic. The eyes are calm, critical, steadily observant, with a half-latent twinkle in them ; the nose is straight, rather long, and pointed ; the rippling curves of the large mouth indicate a certain energetic vivacity...
第 57 頁 - Latin erudition, however ample, is crippled and imperfect without Greek. We have in Latin at best some small streams and turbid pools, while they have the clearest springs and rivers flowing with gold. I see it is the merest madness to touch with the little finger that principal part of theology, which treats of the divine mysteries, without being furnished with the apparatus of Greek...
第 44 頁 - ... the rippling curves of the large mouth indicate a certain energetic vivacity of temperament, and tenacity of purpose; while the pose of the head suggests vigilant caution, almost timidity. As we continue to study the features, they speak more and more clearly of insight and refinement; of a worldly yet very gentle shrewdness ; of cheerful selfmastery ; and of a mind which has its weapons ready at every instant. But there is no suggestion of enthusiasm, — unless it be the literary enthusiasm...
第 86 頁 - ... not by the dreams of my own mind, nor as they say, with unwashed hands, but partly by the evidence of the earliest manuscripts, and partly by the opinion of those whose learning and sanctity have been confirmed by the authority of the Church, I mean Jerome, Hilary, Ambrose, Augustine, Chrysostom, and Cyril.
第 94 頁 - For the first time the laity were able to see, side by side, the Christianity which converted the world, and the Christianity of the Church with a Borgia pope, cardinal princes, ecclesiastical courts, and a mythology of lies. The effect was to be a spiritual earthquake.
第 41 頁 - But look now, my Thomas, what do you suppose Epimenides dreamed of, all those years ? What else but those subtlest of subtleties of which the Scotists now make boast? For I am ready to swear that Epimenides came to life again in Scotus. What if you saw Erasmus sit gaping among those blessed Scotists, while Gryllard is lecturing from his lofty chair ? If you observed his contracted brow, his staring eyes, his anxious face, you would say he was another man. They assert that the mysteries of this science...
第 98 頁 - ... truly affirmed of mankind in general, that they are ungrateful, fickle, timid, dissembling, and self-interested ; so long as you can serve them, they are entirely devoted to you ; their wealth, their blood, their lives, and even their offspring are at your disposal, when you have no occasion for them ; but in the day of need, they turn their back upon you.
第 108 頁 - MY dearest brother in Christ, — Your letter, in which you show no less your truly Christian spirit than your great abilities, was extremely acceptable to me. I have no words to tell you what a sensation your writings have caused here. It is impossible to eradicate from people's minds the utterly false suspicion that I have had a hand in them, and that I am the ringleader of this ' faction,
第 87 頁 - You are proposing to correct the Latin copies by the Greek. But if I show that the Latin version has no mixture of falsehood or mistake, will you not admit that such a work is unnecessary ? But this is what I claim for the Vulgate, since it is unreasonable to suppose, that the Universal Church has been in error for so many generations in her use of this edition, nor is it probable that so many holy Fathers have been mistaken, who in reliance upon it have defined the most arduous questions in General...
第 59 頁 - I am moved by the piety of that holy man, of all Christians beyond controversy the most learned and most eloquent ; whose writings, though they deserve to be read and learned everywhere and by all, are read by few, admired by fewer still, and understood by scarcely any.
