Desiderius Erasmus (c.1466-1536) was a Dutch scholar. Following the new methods of biblical interpretation he learned at Oxford by John Colet, Erasmus gave a crucial contribution to nascent New Testament criticism. Published the editio princeps (1516) of the Greek New Testament, followed by numerous editions (1519, 1522, 1527, and 1535), as well as critical studies and popular paraphrases of the New Testament Epistles and Gospels.
