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.

As a Catholic priest, he was an important figure in classical scholarship who wrote in a pure Latin style. Among humanists, he enjoyed the sobriquet \"Prince of the Humanists\", and has been called \"the crowning glory of the Christian humanists\". Using humanist techniques for working on texts, he prepared important new Latin and Greek editions of the New Testament, which raised questions that would be influential in the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation. He also wrote On Free Will, In Praise of Folly, Handbook of a Christian Knight, On Civility in Children, Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style, Julius Exclusus, and many other works.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe binder\u003c\/strong\u003e: George Bayntun was born in 1873 in Bath, England.
