Two Dyaloges (c. 1549) Wrytten in laten by the famous clerke, D. Erasm[us] of Roterodame, one called Polyphemus or the gospeller, the other dysposyng of thynges and names, translated in to Englyshe by Edmonde Becke.

"Two Dyaloges (c. 1549)" by Desiderius Erasmus is a series of conversations that sharply criticize the religious and social customs of the Renaissance era, using wit to expose pretense and moral failings. Through exchanges between the characters Poliphemus and Cannius, the author casts light on the difference between appearing religious and truly living out one's beliefs. Poliphemus, who claims to closely follow the gospel, is questioned by Cannius when his actions do not match his words, pointing out how empty outward displays of faith can be when inner goodness is lacking. The second dialogue explores the importance of one's name and how society views them, drawing a line between real virtue and just chasing after fame. The dialogues lead readers to think about what it really means to be morally upright, suggesting it's more than just what people see on the surface.
