Press on Erasmus: Life of a Maverick:

‘This ambitious biography turns Erasmus into a man of flesh and blood.’ – TROUW

‘Because Langereis does this in a highly readable way, without pomposity or endless citations, the book has not only become a wonderful biography of Erasmus, but also an attractive and extraordinarily informative cultural history of the times in which he lived.’ – HISTORISCH NIEUWSBLAD

‘Langereis’ biography gives a detailed picture of his life as a thinker and man of letters, but also as an intellectual beggar – as someone who was constantly dependent on the gold pieces he was thrown.’ – VRIJ NEDERLAND
