1518, The removal

Erasmus published his Colloquies (in Latin means a formal written dialogue),
                       [a work which explores man's reaction to others in a conversation.
An important part of his general written work which were read,
                                          [is read and will be read, indeed an immortal creation.

Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus was a Dutch Christian Humanist
                         [who was the greatest scholar of the northern Renaissance
and his books to the national or religious or philosophical fanaticism
                     [was an astonishing written answer, a humanitarian response.

He prepared important Greek editions of the New Testament
 [which raised questions that would be influential in the Protestant Reformation
but he remained a member of the Roman Catholic Church all his life,
       [and in addition a great pacifist, an example for each state, for every nation.

His middle road ("Via Media") approach disappointed,
                                                        [and even angered, scholars in both camps.
The popularity of his books is reflected in the number of editions published*,
                               [and I guess every pacifist today, gives to Erasmus thanks.

It would be an omission if I did not mention in my work the theft from the net,
         [ie the removal of the word "Greek" from the Erasmus's saying about his habits
"when I get a little money I buy Greek books and if any is left, I buy food"
 [a word that Stefan Zweig mentions in his book and was stolen by complexes bandits.
