A near fine copy.<br/><br/> A controversial work by the Calvanist, Bernardino Ochino. He spent much of his adult life fleeing throughout Europe to avoid persecution and in Zurich he wrote his famous Dialogi XXX, which included these 2 dialogues on Polygamy and Divorce. They were poorly received; "Divorce" was thought to be repellant, and his detractors claimed that "Polygamy" was more of a justification than a refutation. --Wing O126; ESTC R9210.<br/><br/>
