Opera omnia Desiderii Erasmi Roterodami : Ordinis Sexti Tomus Tertius

Abstract

This thirty-third volume in Erasmus' Opera omnia (ASD) is the third within

'ordo' VI, that is, the 'ordo' of the New Testament and the Annotations; the

Paraphrases belong to 'ordo' VII. The division into 'ordines' - each 'ordo' being

devoted to a specific literary or thematic category - was laid down by Erasmus

himself for the posthumous publication of his works (see General introduction,

ASD I, pp. x, xvii-xviii, and C. Reedijk, Tandem bona causa triumphat. Zur

Geschichte des Gesamtwerkes des Erasmus von Rotterdam. Vortrage der AeneasSilvius-

Stiftung an der Universitat Basel, XVI, Basel/Stuttgart, 1980, p. 12 sqq.,

21-22).

The present volume (tom. VI, 3, edited by Andrew J. Brown, London) contains

the third part of Erasmus' edition of the Nouum Testamentum (Greek and Latin

text), to wit RomanS-2 Thessalonians.

The other books of the Nouum Testamentum will be published in ASD VI,

1 and VI, 4. Tom. VI, 2 (John and Acts, ed. Andrew J. Brown) was published in

2001.

ASD VI, 5-10 will comprise the Annotations on the New Testament, of which

already have been published: tom. VI, 5 (Annot. on Matthew-Luke, ed. P.E Hovingh,

2000); VI, 6 (Annot. on John and Acts, ed. P.E Hovingh, 2003); VI, 8

(Annot. on 1-2 Corinthians, ed. M.L. van Poll-van de Lisdonk, 2003). The order

of publication depends on when the respective volumes are finished.

With regard to the edition of 'ordo' VI the Editorial Board is much indebted

to Professor H.J. de Jonge (Leiden) for his expert advice.

The Editorial Board and the editor of the present volume are grateful to all

libraries that kindly put books, photostats, microfilms, and bibliographical material

at their disposal.
