It touches on a number of diverse subjects including dancing ball games gambling wrestling hunting and hawking alchemy libraries schoolmasters spectacles toothache lechery gout blindness and deafness. In a recurring theme throughout the dialogues Petrarch advises humility in prosperity and fortitude in adversity.

The first of its two parts contains 122 dialogues between Ratio Gaudium and Spes and deals with how one should behave at times of good fortune; the second contains 131 dialogues between Ratio Dolor and Timor and deals with the behaviour appropriate to adverse fortune. It is a practical manual of moral philosophy and was widely read until the 17th c." Oxford Companion to Italian Literature. Richard Watkyns unknown
