Tudor school-boy life: the dialogues of Juan Luis Vives

A collection of pedagogical dialogues reconstructs daily routines, conversations, and school practices in a Renaissance grammar school. Short scenes—rising, greetings, journeys, lessons, writing, meals, play, travel, and evening study—offer practical guidance on discipline, curriculum, and moral conduct while modeling Latin usage for learners. Interspersed commentary treats games, nature study, vernacular use, and the relation of religion and education, advocating continuous learning and social association across ages. Witty characterization and a dialogue-driven structure make the material both instructive and theatrically vivid.
