description: "Rodolphus Agricola was a Dutch humanist scholar recognized as the \"father of Northern European humanism\" for his role in introducing the Italian Renaissance's intellectual disciplines to the North. Known for his mastery of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, he was a versatile figure who excelled as an organist, poet, and orator, though he preferred the life of an independent scholar over institutional ties. His most important work, De inventione dialectica (1479), influenced the field of logic by shifting the focus from rigid scholastic reasoning to practical argumentation and rhetoric, profoundly impacting later thinkers like Erasmus, who regarded him as a \"truly divine man.\""
