There are over 8,000 pages of Erasmus's works scanned on this site as well as over 3,000 of his letters. Some of this information is tagged with locations, dates, and names. I am working on improving the accuracy of the data and adding more, but I've put a few data visualizations here that might reveal interesting insights about Erasmus's life or work. I'd particularly like to add more data on publications. If you have more ideas for data visualization, please get in touch, or download the dataset for your own use!
