Comprises three moral-theological dissertations against theatrical spectacles, arguing their incompatibility with Christian (especially clerical) life. A significant work in 18th-century ecclesiastical moral theology, especially in the context of Catholic censorship of public entertainment. Slight wear to vellum, endpapers show moisture staining and creases; the main text is clean and well-preserved with only minor stains/foxing in some places. This is the second, revised edition.
