Folly takes the floor to praise herself while describing the world's foolishness and attacking the institutions and customs of the time, including the Church and superstition.

This Spanish edition belongs to Bruguera's Libro Clásico collection and is edited by Teresa Suero Roca. Original title: Moriae Encomium.
For readers of philosophy, classics of thought and Renaissance satirical literature.
