  ERASMI ROTERODAMI (1467-1536)

1)- introduction

see ERASMUS

Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (28 October 1467 – 12 July 1536), known as Erasmus or Erasmus of Rotterdam, was a Dutch Renaissance humanist, Catholic priest, social critic, teacher, and theologian.
Erasmus was a classical scholar and 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, The Praise of Folly, Handbook of a Christian Knight, On Civility in Children, Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style, Julius Exclusus, and many other works.
Erasmus lived against the backdrop of the growing European religious Reformation, but while he was critical of the abuses within the Catholic Church and called for reform, he kept his distance from Luther and Melanchthon and continued to recognize the authority of the pope, emphasizing a middle way with a deep respect for traditional faith, piety and grace, rejecting Luther's emphasis on faith alone. Erasmus remained a member of the Roman Catholic Church all his life, remaining committed to reforming the Church and its clerics' abuses from within. He also held to the Catholic doctrine of free will, which some Reformers rejected in favor of the doctrine of predestination. His middle road ("Via Media") approach disappointed, and even angered, scholars in both camps.
Erasmus died suddenly in Basel in 1536 while preparing to return to Brabant, and was buried in Basel Minster, the former cathedral of the city.[6] A bronze statue of Erasmus was erected in 1622 in his city of birth, replacing an earlier work in stone.

• ASC LIBRA, ruler VE (SAGIT, II)
• MC CANCER, ruler MO (CANCER, IX)
• SU I but MA XII, close to ASC +

- HYLEG : SU
- ALCHOCODEN : VE
- ANAERETA : SA (SA //SU in mundo)

Morinus gives MA for ALMUTEN
However, we find that MA and ME are detrimental.

We now work according to the following scheme:
- Morinus helps us - on a given date - to examine parallel aspects;
when we find a parallel aspect emanating from a significator (ray parallel), we determine its domitude, then the dominatude of the parallel (with latitude). Then, the zodiacal longitude of said parallel is computed. We determine the converse direction of the parallel (which is the significator - aspect) to the promissor. 

2)- primary directions

In the Erasmus natal chart, there are 3 ray-parallels :
- #MO conj SA
- #SA conj MO (mirror parallel)
- #VE conj MA

a)- #MO conj SA

- We find 7/10 (0.7) rays with the Campa-Regio system. It seems statistically more appropriate to give weighted results which alone can have an objective meaning.
Recall : the blue results denote the zodiacal directions (latitude only with significator) ; 

b)- #SA conj MO

We have 0.7 Regio-Campa and 0.8 Placidus.

c)- #VE conj MA

We found 0.7 C Placidus.

conclusion

This theme, which we have studied again, by examination of the Centum geniturarum of Cardano, has given us the possibility of a screening of the mundane and both zodiacal primary directions. The vision of the theme by time of death, easy thanks to Morinus, makes it possible to carry out a global point of view. From this point on, we calculate, according to the place of the promissors and the parallel rays of the significators, the domitude and then the longitude of the parallels with latitude. It is to be notated that with this technic, we have merely converse directions. Obviously, the interest of this research is conceived only on several tens of examples. To be continued.
