La parte della follia

Paradossi erasmiani

Abstract

The essay consists of three entries that focus on just as many Erasmian paradoxes: the first (Dimidium plus toto) focuses on the Christian interpretation of a Hesiodic motto that will successively be taken up again by Pascoli and D’Annunzio; the second (Pazzo, dunque Re) shows the polemical and actualizing intent with which Erasmus translates and interprets in the adage 3164 a saying taken from Plutarch: the third (La parte della follia) discusses a variant introduced by Erasmus in the Encomion Moriae starting from the edition of 1516 to eliminate a daring ‘modification’ he introduced within an evangelical quotation.
