Desiderius Erasmus von Rotterdam

1469 Rotterdam
1536 Basel

Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam was probably born on October 28, 1466, in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, the second child of the priest Rotger Gerard. His birthdate is also given with the years 1465 and 1469. From 1486 until 1488, he studied at the Augustinian monastery in Steyn near Gouda. In 1492, he was ordained as a priest. Erasmus studied in Paris, England, and Italy from 1495 until 1499. He studied philosophy, late scholastic theology, Greek, and Hebrew. In 1516, he became court counselor to the future Emperor Charles V in Brussels. After Basel was "reformed" in 1529, Erasmus moved to Freiburg im Breisgau. Erasmus first supported Luther's reformational thoughts, though it later came to an irreconcilable break between the two theologians. Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam died of typhus on July 12, 1536, in Basel.
