"Erasmus and the Age of Reformation" by Johan Huizinga serves as a companion piece to his renowned work, "The Waning of the Middle Ages," focusing on the pivotal intellectual figure of Erasmus, who emerged following the medieval period Huizinga describes. First published in 1924, this exploration reveals Huizinga's deep sympathy for Erasmus, shedding light on the transformative ideas that shaped the early Reformation era.
