Live and act
Batt studied at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1492 , then returned to the Netherlands and assumed an important role in the city of Bergen op Zoom in Noord-Brabant . Erasmus met Batt, who was the town clerk there, in Bergen. Erasmus often withdrew to the estate of the noble family van Bergen in Halsteren not far from Bergen, where he made further contacts. During a stay at the country estate of Bishop Hendrik van Bergen between 1494 and 1495 he created his work "Antibarbari". A discourse on this topic developed between Batt and Erasmus. Batt rejected the claim that there was a contradiction between a Christian and a secular education.
Batt also campaigned with Bishop Heinrich von Glymes and Berghes for Erasmus to study in Paris.
