The play translated in this volume confronts problems and questions
similar to our own, but from a gap of over four centuries. Should
students fight? Which ones? Why? Why not? What role should teachers
play in students' decision to enlist? What about the desires and
claims of family and loved ones? What are the claims of the state
on its youth? How ready are young people to make decisions of this
magnitude? How are the views of veterans to be weighed? All these
important questions are raised in this play. We hope to offer a
document of student life in the sixteenth century that also
stimulates reflection on these issues that, unfortunately, are not
bound by time and continue to be relevant. " Pontanus is] one of
the most refined educators, dramatists and Latinists of his times."
- Jacob Schmutz, Professor at Sorbonne, Paris
