First edition of this collection of “pasquinades”, anonymous lampoons originally posted in public places in Rome, and other anti-papal texts in Latin, Italian and German: a key source for the history of political satire during the Reformation.

Celio Secondo Curione (1503-1569) was a humanist scholar from Cirié, in Piedmont. While serving as professor of humanist letters at the University of Pavia, he converted to Protestantism. In 1542, he fled to Switzerland to escape religious persecution and settled in Basel, where he became a leading figure among the Italian religious refugees and a vocal advocate of religious tolerance. His notable works include Pasquillus extaticus (1542), a satirical critique of corruption within the Roman Church, and De amplitudine beati regni Dei (1554), written in opposition to John Calvin’s doctrine of predestination.

The term “pasquinade” derives from Pasquino (Latin: Pasquillus), the nickname of an ancient statue in Rome’s Parione district. Since its rediscovery in 1501, Romans have affixed anonymous satirical verses to it, mocking the Papal government and denouncing social injustices, thus making Pasquino the first of the city’s famed “talking statues”. In his Pasquillorum tomi duo, Curione compiled and partially translated into Latin a wide selection of these texts – prose, verse, and dialogues – that had appeared on the bases of the talking statues during the first half of the sixteenth century. To this material he added texts from the Northern European anti-curial tradition, as well as his own compositions, including Pasquillus extaticus et Marphorius, a poetic dialogue between Pasquino and another of Rome’s talking statues, Marforio (pp. 427-529). The volume includes eulogies of Martin Luther (notably pp. 282–295), Ulrich von Hutten’s satirical Trias Romana in both Latin and German (pp. 192 ff.), and the Julius exclusus e coelis, a pointed satire traditionally attributed to Erasmus (pp. 317-324).

Good shoes for the buck
Size: 13, Color: Dark Brown
Great shoes (I wear them to work and church) and the pictures don’t do them justice. They look really good in person. Very comfortable and hold up nicely

Decent Work Shoe, But Stitching Flaw
Size: 9.5, Color: Black, Size: 9.5, Color: Black
I like these men's derby shoes for my husband, but I'm not too surprised they are flawed considering they are Amazon brand. Not to say anything bad about Amazon Essentials by any means, since they have great, affordable products available. However, they are obviously not the super expensive men's derby shoes that are out there. I'm grateful to have a lower cost option, hence me getting them, but there were some minor issues. The stitching on the ankle rear of the shoe was a bit off. They are also a thinner faux leather, not as sturdy as a more expensive material would be. For the cost, though, they are exactly what I needed. These will not be returned and will be used for a work event. No complaints from the husband about fit or comfort. And the color and style were as expected.

The shoes are incredible for the price. They are not the most confortable, but they look very elegant and fit perfectly. It adjusts rightly. I got 2 pairs. My brother has his feet wider than mine, and the shoes fit perfectly.

Looks nice but not comfortable
Size: 9.5, Color: Black
Look nice, fit well, but there is no cushion on the sole so feet hurt after wearing for even a short time.

Nice shoes
Size: 11, Color: Black
bought for my husband to wear to a funeral. Since he would only be wearing them for a day as we don't dress up ever he didn't want to spend allot. The shoes themselves look more expensive than they were and he said that they were comfortable enough. Not sure how well they will last with daily wear. the services had allot of dirt and the shoes were easy to wipe clean with a damp towel
