Line 1: − The leading thinker of the [[Northern Renaissance]] was '''Desiderius Erasmus''' (1466-1536) in the [[Netherlands]]. He wanted more spirituality in the [[Catholic Church]] and urged a greater emphasis on the teachings of [[Jesus]]. He published a Greek edition of the [[New Testament]], and was the first scholar to become famous through use of the printing press, developed in the Northern Renaissance.
