Le Cymbalum Mundi: Avec Un Dossier Et Des Textes d'Accompagnement - Hardcover

by Bonaventure Des Periers (Author), Yves Delegue (Editor)

Published anonymously in 1537, these dialogues offer a platform for speakers debating the use of human language. More than merely religious, the real subversive quality of this enigmatic booklet seems to be found in its language, tracing the limits and powers of speech in practice, its illusions, and its truth.
