Diálogo de la doctrina cristiana
Quick Summary
The Diálogo de la doctrina cristiana (1529), or "Dialogue on Christian Doctrine," is a significant work by Spanish Humanist Juan de Valdés. Valdés, born in 1490, was part of an influential intellectual family in Spain. His religious views aligned with those of Erasmus of Rotterdam.
The Diálogo de la doctrina cristiana did not receive a favorable reception from the Inquisition, prompting Valdés to leave Spain. He spent the remainder of his life in Italy, though he continued to write in Spanish for his Italian audience. His brother, Alfonso de Valdés, was also a prominent humanist and satirist of the same era.12
