About this listen
The Praise of Folly is a hilarious satirical essay on various superstitions and irrational beliefs held by European society and the Roman Catholic Church at the time of Desiderius Erasmus. The narrator is Folly and her attendants include Philautia (Self Love), Kolakia (Flattery), Lethe (Forgetfulness), and Anoia (Imbecility).
The Praise of Folly is considered one of the most noteworthy works of the Renaissance which was a contributing factor to the Protestant Reformation.
