Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466?-1536) was one of the greatest northern humanists. He produced a Greek New Testament, the Novum Instrumentum, and other works. He was also a friend of printers, with whom he collaborated on the publication of key texts. Today one can visit his home in Anderlecht, Belgium, where he lived for 5 months in 1521. I was fortunate to see not only the house, but also the current exhibit on "Erasmus and his Printers." Afterward I toured the philosophical garden, which is adjacent to the museum.
