Answer:

<h3>Desiderius Erasmus.</h3>

Explanation:

One of the greatest reformers of the Northern Renaissance was Desiderius Erasmus. He was born on born October 27, 1469 and was an eminent scholar who edited the New Testament.

Erasmus was a learned scholar and a humanist who contributed in establishing critical analysis of the Bible and the Church. He wrote several writings and researches which immensely helped in replacing the old order of Church curriculum.

He also emphasized on the reformation of the church and its powers. Erasmus believed that the Catholic Church’s doctrine had no scriptural basis. It did not derive power from any source but was manifested through corruption and false proclamations. He supported Protestant Reformation and other reforms to remove the corruption of Church and papacy.
