About Familiar Colloquies

Colloquies is a book by Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutch theologian and educationalist considered the "Prince of Christian Humanists". It was published in 1518 as Latin dialogues for schoolboy exercises, but the work expanded over the following decades with witty but more serious and controversial content. Among other things, the pages "...held up contemporary religious practices for examination in a more serious but still pervasively ironic tone".
