  JUAN DE VALDES - LoveToKnow Article on JUAN DE VALDES
The Dialogo attacked the corruptions of the Roman Church; hence Valdes, in fear of the Spanish Inquisition, left Spain for Naples in 1530.
Valdes was in relations with Fra Benedetto of Mantua, the anonymous author of Del Bcnefizio di Gesii Cristo Crocefisso, revised by Flaminio (reprinted by Dr Babington, Cambridge, 1855).
The suggestion that Valdes was unsound on the Trinity was first made in 1567 by the Transylvanian bishop, Francis David (see article SOCINUS); it has been adopted by Sand (1684), Wallace (1850) and other anti-Trinitarian writers, and is countenanced by Bayle.

 SRB Review 5(3)
Valdés asserts that it is on this level of analogical perception that the narrator appeals directly to the reader with rhetorical questions and speculative digressions.
Valdés seeks above all to contrast the medieval and twentieth century perspectives on death, whose differences may be resumed in the dichotomy of an exterior vs. an interior view of death, and to stress the importance of truth-claims in rendering the Spanish world-view unique through its conceptualization of death.
Valdés then posits three primary characteristics of truth-claim and their corresponding functions in the act of reading: meaning - the "recognition of the descriptive purport of a statement"; verification - the "ensuring validity granted the developing textual configuration"; and reader commitment - the "appropriation of the textual feature into the reader's world-making process" (138).
