Abstract

[69] Erasmus and Erasmians on Education in Sixteenth- Century Portugal by JOSEPH A. KLUCAS RASMIANISM, in its broadest sense, refers to the general endeavor to reconcile pagan and Christian studies and apply them to the current social, religious and political problems of sixteenth- century Europe. Since this movement was characterized by a return to the study of both Greco-Roman literature and Scripture in the manner ofJerome and the early Church Fathers, it inevitably came into conflict with the prevailing cultural and religious institutions and traditions of the late Middle Ages. The universities, the Roman Catholic Church and the royal courts all became subject to reform and were the areas in which Erasmianism most distinctly manifested itself. Whether in con- tending with such problems as scholasticism and Ciceronianism in the universities, corruption and division in the church, or the rise of nationalism and imperialism in the royal courts, Erasmus as a rule exercised moderation and restraint in his criticism and solutions to problems and endeavored to show a willingness to compromise when- ever possible on the more controversial issues. 1 In Portugal, Erasmianism is reflected mainly in the writings and activities of a small group of humanists who had
