Dutch humanist and scholar (7)
I believe the answer is:
erasmus
'dutch humanist and scholar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for erasmus that I've seen before include "Humanist critical of Church" , "Desiderius -, Dutch scholar, humanist" , "Desiderius -, fifteenth and sixteenth century Dutch humanist" , "Fifteenth to sixteenth century Dutch humanist, use arms (anag.)" , "Renaissance scholar" .)
