The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was, through his writings and translations, one of the most influential scholars of the Northern Renaissance and a major figure of Western culture.
- Erasmus was an important figure in Renaissance classical scholarship who wrote in a spontaneous, copious and correct but natural Latin style.
- As a Catholic priest developing humanist techniques for working on texts, he prepared pioneering new Latin and Greek scholarly editions of the New Testament and of the Church Fathers, with annotations and commentary that were immediately and vitally influential in both the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Reformation.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Erasmus article was read about 430,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 100 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
