Holbein bound before the title, and a lithographed portrait of Hans Holbein at the end of the preliminary pages) (Note: This edition of 1851 is a reissue of an edition which was published earlier in the Dutch town of Hoorn in 1839. The sale of that edition apparantly fell short of expectation. The remainder was sold and was republished in Leiden in 1851. Only the title was renewed. The edition was produced by the Dutch schoolmaster Cornelis Alard Abbing, 1800-1872, who was from 1826 Rector of the 'Schola Latina' of Hoorn. (NNBW 4, col. 5/6) It contains Erasmus' satirical attack on superstitions 'Laus Stultitiae' (Praise of Folly), which follows Erasmus' own copy of the Basel edition of 1515, that was illustrated for him with pen and ink drawings by Hans Holbein Junior. Abbing also added a letter that Erasmus wrote to his friend the Louvain theologian Martinus Dorpius (Maarten van Dorp), who, instigated by enemies of Erasmus, had attacked his 'Laus Stultitiae'. Erasmus' letter was so convincing that Dorpius admitted his mistake. Added is also the text of a letter that Erasmus wrote in 1520 to his friend the English scholar Thomas Morus, to whom he had dedicated his 'Laus Stultitiae'. At the end we find one of Erasmus' Colloquia Familiaria' called 'Epicureus', which is on 'voluptas')
