"This work, unpublished in any form since the early 16th century, offers facing Spanish text and an annotated translation of a handbook designed for new bishops. The author, one of Spain's most important reformers of the period, was a forthright reporter of social and ecclesiastical corruption. Many of the abuses he addresses with growing disillusionment foreshadow remarkably closely details of the Picaresque novel, which would appear a generation later in Lazarillo de Tormes."--BOOK JACKET.Colahan, Clark A. is the author of 'DAZ de Luco's Guide for Bishops', published 2007 under ISBN 9780866983792 and ISBN 0866983791.
