A seminal work, it has remained in print ever since. \u003cem\u003eIn Praise of Folly\u003c\/em\u003e first appeared in Latin and was eventually translated into various European languages. An English translation was rendered by clergyman White Kennett (1660-1728) in 1683. Kennett's text remained the standard English translation well into the 20th century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1925, Chicago publisher Pascal Covici brought out an edition of \u003cem\u003eIn Praise of Folly\u003c\/em\u003e based on the Kennett translation. A work of many hands, the Covici Edition was limited to eleven hundred numbered copies and sold out quickly. Since then, it has been available only in libraries and in the antiquarian marketplace. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present work is based on the Covici Edition of 1925, includes revisions and corrections to the text, and retains the lengthy introduction entitled \"In Praise of Erasmus,\" written by then Leader of the Chicago Ethical Society Horace J.
