Opera omnia Desiderii Erasmi Roterodami: Ordinis Sexti Tomus Tertius

Abstract

This thirty-third volume in Erasmus' Opera omnia (ASD) is the third within 'ordo' VI, that is, the 'ordo' of the New Testament and the Annotations; the
Paraphrases belong to 'ordo' VII. The division into 'ordines' - each 'ordo' being
devoted to a specific literary or thematic category - was laid down by Erasmus
himself for the posthumous publication of his works (see General introduction,
ASD I, pp. x, xvii-xviii, and C. Reedijk, Tandem bona causa triumphat. Zur
Geschichte des Gesamtwerkes des Erasmus von Rotterdam. Vortrage der AeneasSilvius-
Stiftung an der Universitat Basel, XVI, Basel/Stuttgart, 1980, p. 12 sqq.,
21-22).
The present volume (tom. VI, 3, edited by Andrew J. Brown, London) contains
the third part of Erasmus' edition of the Nouum Testamentum (Greek and Latin
text), to wit RomanS-2 Thessalonians.
The other books of the Nouum Testamentum will be published in ASD VI,
1 and VI, 4. Tom. VI, 2 (John and Acts, ed. Andrew J. Brown) was published in
2001.
ASD VI, 5-10 will comprise the Annotations on the New Testament, of which
already have been published: tom. VI, 5 (Annot. on Matthew-Luke, ed. P.E Hovingh,
2000); VI, 6 (Annot. on John and Acts, ed. P.E Hovingh, 2003); VI, 8
(Annot. on 1-2 Corinthians, ed. M.L. van Poll-van de Lisdonk, 2003). The order
of publication depends on when the respective volumes are finished.
With regard to the edition of 'ordo' VI the Editorial Board is much indebted
to Professor H.J. de Jonge (Leiden) for his expert advice.
The Editorial Board and the editor of the present volume are grateful to all
libraries that kindly put books, photostats, microfilms, and bibliographical material
at their disposal.
