Opera omnia Desiderii Erasmi Roterodami Ordinis Sexti Tomus Sectus

This thirty-first volume in Erasmus' Opera omnia (ASD) is the sixth within 'ordo' VI, that is the 'ordo' of the New Testament and the Annotations; the Paraphrases belong to 'ordo' VII. The division into 'ordines' - each 'ordo' being devoted to a specific literary or thematic category - was laid down by Erasmus himself for the posthumous publication of his works (see General introduction, ASD I, pp. x, xvii-xviii, and C. Reedijk, Tandem bona causa triumphat. Zur Geschichte des Gesamtwerkes des Erasmus von Rotterdam. Vortrage der Aeneas-Silvius-Stiftung an der Universitat Basel, XVI, Basel/Stuttgart, 1980, p. 12 sqq., 21-22). The present volume (tom. VI, 6, edited by ~F. Hovingh, Rotterdam) contains the second part of the Annotationes in Nouum Testamentum, to wit the Annotations on John and Acts. The Annotations on the other books of the New Testament will be published in ASD VI, 7-10. ASD VI, 1-4 will comprise Erasmus' edition of the New Testament (Greek and Latin); tom. VI, 2 Oohn and Acts, ed. Andrew J. Brown) was published in 2001. The order of publication depends on when the respective volumes are finished. With regard to the edition of 'ordo' VI the Editorial Board is much indebted to Professor H.J. de Jonge (Leiden) for his expert advice. The Editorial Board and the editor of the present volume are grateful to all libraries that kindly put books, photostats, microfilms, and bibliographical material at their disposal.
