Erasmus wrote his Colloquies as educational material for training boys in Latin conversation. This volume of the Amsterdam edition of the Latin texts of Erasmus offers a critical edition of the Latin texts of these influential, creative writings, which resemble short Latin plays. The editors present a critical edition of the Latin text, with an introduction and commentary in French, and provide linguistic, philological, historical, philosophical and theological background to the text.
