| Summary | "A Dialoge or Communication of Two Persons" by Desiderius Erasmus is a philosophical and religious discourse likely written in the early 16th century. The text aims to explore themes surrounding devotion and piety, focusing on the practice of pilgrimages and the veneration of saints. It features characters engaged in conversations that scrutinize societal norms and religious practices, particularly those related to idolatry and superstition. The beginning of the dialogue introduces two characters, Menedemus and Ogygyus, who discuss their recent pilgrimage experiences. Menedemus expresses skepticism towards the authenticity of Ogygyus's journey and the value of the relics he encountered. Ogygyus recounts his visits to various sacred sites, remarking on the ostentatiousness of the relics and the beliefs surrounding them. Through witty banter, they critique the nature of religious practices, questioning whether they truly reflect genuine faith or merely serve superficial purposes.
