The works of Erasmus most in favor with John Dome's patrons in 1520 are the following, arranged in-4he order of their sales: Colloquia; De Constructions; Copia Verborum et Rerum; Enchiridion Militis Christiana; Adagia; Novum Testamentum; Paraphrasis on various parts of the New Testament; Encomion Moria?

To understand the significance of his immense popularity requires a careful analysis of his work. Unless the readers of his day differed radically from the readers of today, to re-state his popularity in other terms is to say that they found him interesting. And the interest of so many readers is due to the wideness of his appeal. Thus the Adagia, a collection of proverbs from the classics, was bought as a handy...
