Exercises in Style, 20th century French book, illustrating variations.The original 1512 edition contained 153 chapters, which swelled to 206 in the final version that Erasmus completed before his death. Erasmus made three separate revisions to the original text, adding chapters each time. The book was immensely popular in England and in Europe, at least 85 editions of the book were printed in Erasmus' own lifetime, and countless more after that. While designed as a university textbook, Copia enjoyed far broader appeal. The early draft version of the text that was left behind in Italy is written as a dialogue between two students and is titled Brevis de Copia Praeceptio it was eventually printed in 1519 as an appendix to the Formulae. Though he was reluctant to publish the work in haste, Erasmus hoped to avoid being associated with what he called 'a thoroughly bad text' and ultimately produced 'the lesser evil of the two'. It is widely believed that Erasmus left a working copy of the manuscript behind after a trip to Italy (1506–1509) and, upon hearing that an unauthorized version was forthcoming, quickly produced a version to thwart the effort. Erasmus began conceptualizing the work much earlier, in the 1490s, during a time when creating style manuals for school boys was considered to be a noble calling. The first official edition of De Copia, titled De duplici copia rerum ac verborum commentarii duo, was published by Josse Bade in Paris in 1512 and helped establish Erasmus as a major humanist scholar.
