In -4°, pp. (40), 146, (6), pergamena coeva, difetti al dorso. Prima edizione. Nato a Saragozza, l’autore insegnò a Napoli e Roma prima di partire per Cuba, dove avrebbe passato la vecchiaia. Il libro, interessante e curioso, si occupa di prostituzione e della sua accettabilità dottrinaria, argomento rispetto al quale l’autore è fortemente contrario. Lo scritto replica a un manoscritto (poi stampato a Catania, “Resolutio theologica moralis in qua occasione cuiusdam casus occurrentis afferitur et propugnatur, licite permitti posse Meretrices”, 1677) del francescano Giovanni dell’Olmo, che difendeva il diritto delle prostitute a entrare nelle dimore nobiliari napoletane. La polemica svela molto sui costumi del sesso a pagamento all’epoca. Born in Saragoza, the author was a professor in Naples and Rome before leaving to Cuba. This curious book deals with prostitution and its doctrinaire acceptability (that the author is strongly against to). This work replies to a manuscript (then printed in Catania, “Resolutio theologica moralis in qua occasione… licite permitti posse meretrices”, 1677) of a franciscan preacher, Giovanni dell’Olmo, who supports permission to prostitutes to enter in neapolitan noble palaces. This controversy reveals many facts about prostitution at time.
