In "Praise of Folly", also translated as "The Praise of Folly", is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in June 1511. Inspired by previous works of the Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli De Triumpho Stultitiae, it is a satirical attack on superstitions, other traditions of European society and on the Western Church. Erasmus revised and extended his work, which was originally written in the space of a week while sojourning with Sir Thomas More at More's house in Bucklersbury in the City of London.

Hakkımda ne derlerse desinler, (zira, deliliğin en deli olanlar tarafından bile her gün nasıl ayaklar altına alındığını bilmez değilim) tanrısal tesirlerimle tanrılar ve insanlar üzerine sevinç saçan gene ben, yalnız benim; öyle ya, bu kalabalık toplantıda ben görünür görünmez, söz söylemeye hazırlanır hazırlanmaz canlı emsalsiz bir neşenin çehrelerinizde birdenbire parladığı görülmedi mi?
