From the publisher

Supplementa Humanistica Lovaniensia, Vol. 24The sixteenth-century humanist Juan Maldonado (c. 1485-1554), in his Latin essays, foreshadows the Spanish picaresque. Maldonado's Pastor Bonus, a lengthy open letter to a bishop, reviews in a vivid and satirical style the abuses of the churchmen in his diocese. His Ludus chartarum is framed as a colloquium on entertaining while teaching a Latin terminology for card playing.
