Descriptive card

Written in Brixen in September 1453. The same month, a manuscript copy was immediately sent to Juan de Segovia at the Aiton monastery. A literary dialogue between God's word, i.e. Christ, Paul, Peter, and fifteen representatives of the religions and cultures of the ecumene, held in heavenly Jerusalem at the presence of God the Father. Islam and Judaism are involved. Known to scholars for its much-debated and controversial motto, i.e. una religio in rituum varietate, it is relevant to the medieval discussion of the relation between faith and religious rites. Interpreted by early Reformists as a Protestant theological work ante litteram.
