Pages unmarked and uncreased. Bindings firm and tight. In very good used condition overall. Publisher's note: The seventeenth-century Latin dialogue is a sung conversation on a sacred subject involving two or more characters, each of whom is represented by a single voice. This is the first critical study of the genre, which has never been the object of comprehensive scholarly treatment. Few exist in modern editions, and a valuable portion of this book is the complete transcriptions of 10 dialogues, representative of their range and invention.
