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).

3.5, Not 3.0
Color: Medium Set of 6
These balls were almost exactly what I needed. I was replacing my boy’s favorite ball, which is the 3” squeaky, spikey ball that fits in the chuck it launcher. Unfortunately I saw the shiny object next to it and because there were SIX balls and a dollar less, I failed to see that these are 3.5” balls instead of 3”…. Great balls but no fitty in the slingy. Buyer beware. No chuck it no problem. Save a buck.

MY CHIHUAHUA LOVES THESE BALLS!!
Color: Samll Set of 8
My little chihuahua, BamBam, is addicted to balls, especially little balls that squeak! However, any balls that have material on them, BamBam will tear them apart, swallow the material and then get an upset tummy! These balls saved the day! BamBam LOVES them & she cannot tear them apart! They hold up so well! No matter how much BamBam plays with them, they keep squeaking away!

Perfect squeaky ball. Dogs love them. I love that they're durable and their thickness aids their durability. My Great Dane will play alone for hours with a ball.
