L'Hospital Des Fols Incurables: L'Hospidale De'pazzi Incurabili

This work of satirical fiction presents a unique view of madness. The portrayal of mad people confined in an imaginary asylum culminates in a burlesque revue depicting various forms of social otherness. The rich paratext makes the Italian text from 1586 and first translation from 1620 accessible to the reader. Bilingual Italian-French edition.
