This thesis examines Erasmus’s interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount in his Paraphrase on Matthew. The argument is that Erasmus offers a particularly rich reading of the Sermon through his use of the church fathers, his intratextual interpretive habits, and his exegetical insights. Chapter 1 briefly surveys major contributions for the study of the Paraphrases and provides a general introduction to the Paraphrases. Chapter 2 examines Erasmus’s frequent use of the church fathers throughout the Sermon and suggests that he shapes their works to meet his rhetorical needs. Chapter 3 surveys the intratextual connections Erasmus makes within the Sermon itself and between the Sermon and the rest of Matthew. Chapter 4 presents a couple passage-level insights from Erasmus and a discussion of his tripartite structure through the center of the Sermon as reflections from exegetical history. Chapter 5 concludes with a summary of the argument.

By the addition of new themes in the history field, this works performs reflections regarding the social, religious and politic aspects of the manners suggested by Erasmus. In this way, it is analysed the continuous process of recriation of body signs and their respective symbolic construction of meanings in the 16th century. By these aspects, it is discussed how the new ways of knowledge, under the Christian and humanistic points of view, besides its own communication, impact the social life spreading and reinforce a real control of the bodies, from a vigilance which imposes itself more and more present and constant by the “ubiquitous eyes”. These “eyes” promote new sensitiveness, such as embarrassment, shame, pride and the own distinction, as a consequence of the paradigm about the ideal appearance and, therefore, desired / A presente Dissertação é um estudo do discurso civilizatório da obra “De civilitate morum puerilium” (1530), de Erasmo de Rotterdam (1466-1536), e suas implicações históricas no contexto de elaboração e difusão deste manual. Através da inserção de novas temáticas no campo da história, esta pesquisa realiza reflexões quanto ao aspecto social, religioso e político dos costumes sugeridos por Erasmo. Dessa forma, analisa-se o processo constante da reelaboração dos códigos corporais e da respectiva construção simbólica dos significados no século XVI. A partir destes pontos, é discutido de que modo as novas formas de conhecimento, dentro da perspectiva humanista cristã, além da própria comunicação, impactam na vida social difundindo e reforçando uma verdadeira contenção dos corpos, a partir de uma vigilância que se impõe cada vez mais presente e constante pelos "olhos ubíquos". Esses "olhos" promovem novas sensibilidades, tais como o embaraço, a vergonha, o orgulho e a própria distinção, fruto do paradigma quanto à aparência ideal e, portanto, almejada

<p>In the genre of the-mirror-for-princes Erasmus Desiderius, <em>Institutio Principi Christiani</em> and Niccoló Machiavelli’s <em>Il Principe</em> are traditionally considered as a dichotomy. This thesis aims at comparing Erasmus against the norm of Machiavelli with emphasis on genre and rhetoric. A "reversed" comparative reading like this study shows that much of what is considered typical of the genre in Erasmus classic is in fact a result of the use of ethos and decorum. The study concentrates on the uses of normative language on the subjects of education, virtue, war, love, and hate to answer how the two texts differentiate in view of the legitimacy of rulers and how these differing views can be explained. This unorthodox reading of Erasmus mirror-for-princes reveals a less naïve and more pragmatic ideal prince. Though clearly separate from Machiavelli’s prince, formed by the roman discourse, the Erasmian ruler is hard to define as its antithesis. The differences in outlook constitute two different rhetorical stances in the face of the new political situation of the time and therefore share much common ground.</p>

William Warham, Lord Chancellor of England (1504--1515) and Archbishop of Canterbury (1503--1532), was Desiderius Erasmus's most generous and consistent patron; in Erasmus's words a "sacred anchor" for him. The relationship between the two men connected with and contributed to a complex process of historical change. First of all, Warham and Erasmus were both associated with the paradigm shift which we now call the Northern Renaissance. Warham's academic background and his travels on the continent motivated him to support the study of Greek, new research in theology and the revival of classical learning. His money and political support acted as a force enabling Erasmus to get his New Testament work completed and published. Erasmus's New Testament research in turn facilitated the biblical scholarship of the Reformation and definitely motivated William Tyndale, among others. The reform which the collaboration of Warham and Erasmus helped to unleash was hence more radical than either had ever anticipated. Once religious reform started, neither man could control its pace although each made an effort to do so. The aim of this thesis is to show the significance of their relationship to the two individuals themselves, and also, more importantly, to analyze the dynamics of their collaboration and to demonstrate how and why it acted as a catalyst for religious change in England. Books have been written about More and Erasmus and Colet and Erasmus; the absence of a book about Warham and Erasmus has meant that the nature and significance of their relationship have not, as yet, been fully understood.
