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).

Durable and cute for a small breed or senior dog
Smaller han expected but overall seem sturdy enough for my dog who tears every toy he gets within a day so these have held up so far and no cleaning up of stuffing in my living room which is a plus. My dog loves them

So fun, so inexpensive
My almost year-old puppy absolutely loves these toys. They’re small and make this crinkly sound which she loves. I can’t believe the joy she’s getting from these little things that were so inexpensive. They’re suitable for dogs under 20 pounds I would say.

Super cute, didn’t last though.
Super cute, good size, I was hopeful that the durability would prove good too, but unfortunately our 7 month old lab pup made quick work out of them… 6 hours later and here we are, all squeakers removed and 🐰 & 🦆 no longer have a face.

Excellent for small dog!
These are very colorful and well made. They are flat, but wonderfully crinkly. Good sturdy material for medium to small dog. Looks like they will last a long time. My dog loves them.
