Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents Juan Luis Vives' school dialogues, written in 1539. Consisting of 25 conversations between schoolboys, schoolmasters, and others, these dialogues served as a Latin language textbook for Tudor students, providing them with vocabulary for everyday situations and classical references. The author, a Spanish humanist and educational reformer, believed in the importance of eloquence and clarity in speech. He sought to revive classical Latin and provide a practical guide for students eager to master the language. The dialogues cover various topics, from morning routines and school life to banquets, journeys, and even the ideal education for a young prince. Through these conversations, Vives not only teaches Latin vocabulary and grammar but also imparts valuable lessons on morality, etiquette, and the pursuit of knowledge. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the educational practices and cultural norms of the Tudor period, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of education and language learning.
