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).

Nice Frames
Color: Black, Size: 8x10
I purchased two of these frames in black. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they are given the price was so low. I removed the film on both sides of the plexiglass as instructed and it was crystal clear. These are not high quality frames if that's what you are looking for.....real wood or glass. However, they are awesome for the price and what I needed them for. I would purchase them again.

This mattress cover is great! Well worth your money
Size: Twin XL, Style: 1 Green
This mattress cover is so comfortable. I am scheduled for back surgery in a week so when I find something I can sleep on and call it comfortable you best believe it is! It fits well, it’s pretty and it’s very fluffy. Seems to be made very well. I am confident that I’ll get a lot of wear out of it.

Very Comfortable - Love this!
Size: Full, Style: 1 Green
So far, so good! I am going on my first night trying this mattress topper out. It feels very comfortable and definitely is fluffy, but not too fluffy. I did not "fluff it out" or put it in the dryer to fluff it out quicker, so perhaps it still needs some time to fluff out some more. It was very easy to place on my mattress. I didn't have to fight with it as I normally would when fitting a sheet to my mattress. I love that it stretches over the sides of the mattress to hold it in place. The bamboo truly gives a cooler effect, which will be very helpful in the summer time. I used a microfiber mattress topper prior to ordering this topper. So far, the comparison is that this one appears to be well made and durable, unlike the microfiber one I had before that changes color as it gets old and dirty and is impossible to clean. The old one actually ripped and would constantly move. I am excited to see how well this one holds up over time. I had no trouble placing a fitted sheet over this mattress topper. I love that this one is machine washable and is able to be placed in the drier. It feels very nice on my legs and is comfortable for my back as well. The padding doesn't feel thick or bulky but definitely adds a softness that is super comfortable. It's too soon to tell if it's water resistant as I haven't tested that feature out yet. I placed it over an old, springy mattress and it truly feels like I have a whole new mattress. Time will tell how well this product does the job and I will update this review if I end up having any issues with it.
