ERASMUS ON PRINT :(PG. 113)

Erasmus was a Latin secular and a Catholic reformer. Like Martin Luther he criticised the excesses of Catholicism but unlike him, he was not grateful to print.

He expressed deep anxiety about printing. For him books were stupid, ignorant slanderous, scandalous irreligious and seditious.
