جزییات کتاب
Modern scholarship of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries usually regards him highly. Nevertheless, only sporadic systematic attention has been given to his biography and work. Especially important in this regard are the chronological list of his letters and orations compiled by Allen (1906), the biographical study in Dutch by Van der Velden (1911) and the bibliographical and rhetorical analysis of his work by Ong (1958).
The quincentenary of Agricola's death in 1985 appeared to offer an excellent opportunity for stimulating the renewal of Agricolan studies. A commemoration could appropriately have been organized in a number of places: he studied at Erfurt, Louvain, Pavia, Ferrara and, perhaps also, at Cologne; he filled public office in Groningen and stimulated humanism there; at Heidelberg he taught and functioned in the University and at the court of Johann, Bishop von Dalberg. The Groningen homage to Agricola was not prompted solely by patriotic feelings. There is an established interest in Agricola and northern humanism especially in the departments of classics, history and philosophy of the University and in its library. In general, too, Agricola is considered one of the founding fathers of intellectual life in the northern Netherlands and Germany.
