«Diálogo de la lengua» is the Renaissance dialogue by Juan de Valdés on Castilian, published by Orbis in hardcover (172 pages, in Spanish).
The work was written by Juan de Valdés in Naples around 1535-1536 and is presented as a conversation about the Castilian language: grammar, purity and literary style.

For philology students and readers interested in the history of Spanish and Renaissance linguistic thought.
