First edition of this collection of “pasquinades”, anonymous lampoons originally posted in public places in Rome, and other anti-papal texts in Latin, Italian and German: a key source for the history of political satire during the Reformation.

Celio Secondo Curione (1503-1569) was a humanist scholar from Cirié, in Piedmont. While serving as professor of humanist letters at the University of Pavia, he converted to Protestantism. In 1542, he fled to Switzerland to escape religious persecution and settled in Basel, where he became a leading figure among the Italian religious refugees and a vocal advocate of religious tolerance. His notable works include Pasquillus extaticus (1542), a satirical critique of corruption within the Roman Church, and De amplitudine beati regni Dei (1554), written in opposition to John Calvin’s doctrine of predestination.

The term “pasquinade” derives from Pasquino (Latin: Pasquillus), the nickname of an ancient statue in Rome’s Parione district. Since its rediscovery in 1501, Romans have affixed anonymous satirical verses to it, mocking the Papal government and denouncing social injustices, thus making Pasquino the first of the city’s famed “talking statues”. In his Pasquillorum tomi duo, Curione compiled and partially translated into Latin a wide selection of these texts – prose, verse, and dialogues – that had appeared on the bases of the talking statues during the first half of the sixteenth century. To this material he added texts from the Northern European anti-curial tradition, as well as his own compositions, including Pasquillus extaticus et Marphorius, a poetic dialogue between Pasquino and another of Rome’s talking statues, Marforio (pp. 427-529). The volume includes eulogies of Martin Luther (notably pp. 282–295), Ulrich von Hutten’s satirical Trias Romana in both Latin and German (pp. 192 ff.), and the Julius exclusus e coelis, a pointed satire traditionally attributed to Erasmus (pp. 317-324).

Fun and filled with facts
Format: Hardcover
Stinkbird is a humorous, kid-centric tale featuring the Amazonian hoatzin bird. It's filled with interesting facts about this stinky bird. Esbaum's distinct, fun voice is inviting, and Shea's illustrations are lush and colorful. Backmatter is engaging and amusing, too! This will be a terrific addition to classrooms, libraries, and home bookshelves.

READ BEFORE GIVING TO A CHILD
Format: Paperback
Five stars in hopes it is listed at the top. PLEASE read before you give this to your child! The art work is gorgeous, a very gift able book! I got this for my dragon loving 11yr old as a Christmas book to enjoy in December. Let me just tell you a quick run down of the book.... this child is the only child left unadopted at an orphanage run by a nasty woman and her evil dog. The woman is annoyed by the child and as punishment she cancels Christmas and puts a chain around her ankle and locks her in a dog kennel (yes it says this many times, not simply implied but directly said it and a drawing of it). Finally a little Christmas magic and glimmer of joy when a snow dragon frees her for one quick adventure. That portion is a cute story but it's a very short part in the book. When the adventure is over the child is snuck back in and ankle chain back on and back in the dog kennel. The mean woman returns and says it's time to play a game called "chase".....then the book details what this game is.... this mean woman makes the orphans hold bones and tells them to run, then her evil dog is allowed to chase the kids (scary, not a fun dog frolicking with happy children).....finally at the end the little girl and her sweet dancing dog are adopted. But this book is so sad, this is not a sweet story or Christmas fun. I'm returning the book bc I feel like it will make my child sad instead of enjoy a cute Christmas story. If you are an adoptive parent or a foster parent this may really trigger your children, any child who is sensitive would probably not like this book. However every child is different so for some kids they may be less bothered and just enjoy the dragon and cute last page with the new family walking away together. But read the book for yourself before giving it to a child. I'm 37 with no history of childhood trauma myself and I found this book to be a bit much. I use to be a foster mom and I really wanted to write a review so parents would understand what's in this book bc I almost didn't read it before giving it to my child for Christmas! Glad I read it! The story could have been adorable if they let the dragon be the main part of the story. Not the abuse the child is suffering in the orphanage.

Lovely Winter Solstice Book
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
My son loved this winter solstice story! Told by the perspective of the animals, each one brings a little something to share with the others as they decorate a tree together with their items and it's exactly what I wanted in a winter solstice story for my 4 year old. Not too complex which is ideal for younger children, not soly describing the change of season. I feel like this is more of the heart of winter solstice, coming together with friends and family, being generous and having gratitude, and over all sharing light with each other in the longest night of the year. My son's favorite page is definitely the fold out!

Beautiful Book
Format: Hardcover
This book is absolutely beautiful. I love the sweet story, lyrical language, and lovely illustrations. My children were in awe of the special fold-out spread for the big reveal of the Solstice tree. Winter: A Solstice Story is a wonderful picture book, highly recommended.
