---

"A Book Called In Latin Enchiridion Militis Christiani, And In English The Manual Of The Christian Knight"" is a book written by the famous Dutch philosopher and theologian, Desiderius Erasmus, in 1503. The book is a guide for Christian knights on how to live a virtuous life and how to defend their faith. It is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different aspect of Christian life: faith, hope, love, and humility. Erasmus emphasizes the importance of a Christian knight's spiritual life, urging them to cultivate a deep and sincere faith in God, to rely on hope and trust in God's plan, and to practice love and compassion towards others. He also stresses the need for humility, reminding the reader that true greatness lies not in power or wealth, but in serving others and living a life of virtue. The book is written in a clear and concise style, with numerous references to scripture and classical literature. It was widely popular during the Renaissance and has since become a classic of Christian literature. This edition, published in 1905, includes a preface by the translator, William Upton, and an introduction by the renowned scholar, Thomas More.Replenished With Most Wholesome Precepts Made By The Famous Clerk Erasmus Of Rotterdam To The Which Is Added A New And Marvelous Profitable Preface.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
