Description:The story begins with Folly, parading as a goddess and praising herself endlessly, arguing that life would be dull and distasteful without her.

The title Moriae Encomium had a punning second meaning as In Praise of More. Praise of Folly is considered one of the most notable works of the Renaissance and played an important role in the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation, which stemmed from the foundation of critique which the essay laid against the practices of the Church and its political allies.This cloth-bound book includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket, and is limited to 100 copies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
