Omschrijving

In, A Dialog on Polygamy, the Famous Italian Reformer; Bernardino Ochino, presents both sides of the argument, and it's HILARIOUS! Ochino plays the part of a sixteenth century priest, which he was, while Telypolygamus plays the part of the advocate for polygamy. On December 2, 1563, Ochino was exiled from Germany for publishing this work. Some say the German Reformation ended that day. He and his children were sent out into the harsh elements where three of them died of the plague. Ochino died a year later. In addition to the original translation, I've included my own modern font version which includes many editorial changes. You'll notice that I've introduced the nicknames Ochy and Tely for the characters. I find this preferable to identifying them with letters. If you're a purist, please, read the old font version. To find the old font version, open the book just beyond the middle. The pages are numbered the same in both versions to make cross referencing easier. Had Bernardino Ochino not been exiled for writing on polygamy, he might have had more to say on the subject. Certainly there is more to say and I have done so in many of my own books. If you enjoy dialogs such as Ochino's, I've written a novel titled Prince of Sumba, Husband to Many Wives. Its characters argue for and against polygamy, I must admit; mostly for it.
