HIS LIFE AS A HUMANIST AND
HOW HE HAS INFLUENCED ME
• The meaning for Humanist during Desidurius time is different from the
meaning today.
• During his time it meant that he was a “grammarian” which is a people
who deeply studies, especially in languages.
• Many people though he was a great humanist and he knew many languages
such as Greek, Dutch, English, French, and Hebrew.
• The way Desidurius has influenced me is in the hard
work that he has done and how far he has went to achieve
his goals, so it makes me want to reach mines too.
