“For twelve years Enenkel devoted much of his research and seminars to the preparation of these three volumes. That devotion is manifest, in bulk and perception. [...] Enenkel’s introduction is one the most exhaustive in the ASD [series], and his annotation is Herculean: he took pains to identify precisely the sources Erasmus drew upon—books and manuscripts of prior translations and collections. [...] Enenkel sorts out sources better than anyone has done before.”
Willis Goth Regier, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. In: Erasmus Studies, Vol. 46, No. 1 (2026), pp. 84–88.
