Mercury and Charon converse about early 16th-century Spain in a text combining satire, humour and criticism. The dialogue reviews politics, religious disputes, courtly intrigues and contemporary ideas, with a clear defence of Renaissance humanism and the thought of Erasmus of Rotterdam.
Originally published in 1529, it belongs to the Erasmian humanism of the Spanish Renaissance; this edition is from 1986.
