sir thomas more

So long after that beautiful part of mores life he grew close very close to desiderius Erasmus while he was visiting as a latter for the first time in England during 1499.many say it was the beginning of a lifelong friendship and correspondence. These two great friends produced Latin translations of Lucians work printed at Paris around the year 1506note this was only Erasmus’s second visit.
