Summary
Five fictional dialogues between Tullia, a young Italian woman, and Octavia, her younger cousin, with whose sexual initiation Tullia has been charged so that Octavia might be better prepared for marriage and her future husband. The fifth dialogue is incomplete. The author claimed that the text was originally in Spanish and the work of poetess and Portuguese court intellectual Luisa Sigea de Velasco (also known as Luisa Sigea Toledana) and was translated into Latin by Dutch scholar Johannes Meursius.
