Excerpt from The History of the Famous Preacher Friar Gerund De Campazas, Vol. 2 of 2: Otherwise Gerund Zotes
I give thee a thoufand congratulations and embraces with my heart, fince I cannot 'do it with my lips. In all this country no thing is talked of but thy famous exhorta tion to the Difciplinants. Brother Roque, the under-butler, writes me wonders, and the clerk, Gardoncil/a who heard thee, and came hither time to tune a hell, I think will never have done talking of it. They are both good judges, or I have no judgment myfelf. Mofen Guillen, who is the miuifier of this parifh, and has the Theatre of the Gods at his fingers' ends, defircs' to have a copy of it, and fays that he will infallibly print it, though he fhould be obliged to fell the foundered mule he bought at pot-fair. Send it me by the bearer, who is the barber of this. Place, a fafe perfon, and very high in my elieem. I refer' thee to him concerning my fermon' of St. Orofia, as it is not meet that I praife myfelf and I can tell thee, that he has as keen a pair of fcifi'ars at trimming a fermon as adjufting a foretop. I (hall only add, that befides what the majordomo paid.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed historical account of religious life in 18th century Spain, with Friar Gerundio de Campazas as a central character. The author provides sharp social commentary through the character of the friar, whose ridiculous and extravagant preaching style reflects the excessive, overly ornamented, and exaggerated religious practices of the time. The book criticizes the church for this style of preaching, seen by the author as a corruption of the true Christian message. Friar Gerundio's character also exposes the hypocrisy and ignorance prevalent in religious orders, whose members often failed to live up to their pious vows. It illustrates how the friar's vanity and ambition cause him to become entangled in nonsensical speech and actions, a far cry from the humility and wisdom expected of a religious figure. This book gives readers an insightful look into the complex religious landscape of 18th century Spain and raises questions about the role of the church in society.
