Sorry but we do not learn anything, it is a pro domo tract linked to the catastrophic situation of Zweig. It is a pure hagiography, portraying a sage rather than a man, a figure dÉpinal. We hardly find any dÉrasme quote in this book, for example, or quote anyone, illustrating the distance taken by Zweig ... Each page Erasmus defends well against evil ... I do not mind whether the father of humanism, but the portrait is too Manichean, and even humanistic ideology that distance becomes inhuman. That said, given the rave reviews I probably wrong.
