moral reform.

began writing in the vernacular, the everyday
language of ordinary people.

that was arising in northern towns and
cities.
The Dutch priest Desiderius Erasmus was
one of the major religious scholars of the
age.
• Erasmus called for
translation of the Bible into
the vernacular.

duties were to be openminded and show good will
to others.
• He also sought reform in the
Church.

humanist who
pushed for social
reforms.
In Utopia, he described
an ideal society. The book

utopian.
Francois Rabelais
was a French
humanist who

In Gargantua and
Pantagruel, two giants
on a comic adventure offer
opinions on religion and
education.
