Reviews

The Encomium Moriae [...] is today given an afterlife by the knowledgeable care of Ledo and den Boer in an annotated English edition that brings to a wider academic audience versed both in Spanish and the lingua franca of the twenty-first century the trials and tribulations of a remarkable translation and a forgotten manuscript. - A. Izquierdo, Sixteenth Century Journal XLVI: 3 (2015), pp. 707-710 ...the edition constitutes an important milestone in the discipline of Erasmian studies in general, and of Hispanic Erasmism in particular. - J.M. Perez Fernandez, Renaissance Quarterly LXIX:1 (2016), pp. 331-332 I do not hesitate to say that this impressive edition will open up new lines of research for scholars of Erasmus and early modern Iberian studies and will continue to be an invaluable tool for both teachers and students for years to come. - K.D. Howard, Erasmus Studies (previously Erasmus of Rotterdam Society Yearbook) XXXVI:1 (2016), pp. 73-75
