With a summary in English. The first of Macropedius` writings is the Asotus (1537), a biblical drama of the Prodigal Son. Numerous passages, derived from Erasmus` adaptation of the Vulgata (1516) prove that the author has revised a first concept (1507-1510) of this drama.

Reviews
"Puttiger`s outstanding philological spadework and his readable Dutch prose translation of the drama will ensure that this edition of Asotus will remain the standard for a long time" (James A. Parente, Jr. in Neo-Latin News XXXVIII,1-2, 1990). "... large, thoroughly documented and elaborate study... This is a new step towards the complete disclosure of the fascinating works of an attractive author" (Frank Leys in Wolfenbütteler Renaissance Mitteilungen XIII,1, 1989).
