“When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.”

― Erasmus

 

While best known for his ‘In Praise of Folly’ and ‘Colloquies’, Desiderius Erasmus wrote other important treatises including this relatively unknown work ‘Precationes aliquot’. More commonly known as a prayer-book, this book became a widely used devotional manual both with Catholic and Protestant readers.
