Title: Stunning, convincing, and a pleasure to read
Product review: Markish presents the thesis that erasmus was asemitic, rather than antisemite OR friend to the jews. While on the face of things this may seem a rather bland arguement for a book, it is nonetheless a very important one in the field of Reformation historiography. Although the afterword of the book solidly disputes the monograph (the reader tends to wonder why it was included) Markish's work is hard to argue with and makes for an enlightening read. A must have for any Reformation scholar.
