loose translation

first paragraph Discordia, Jupiter and Mercury are participants in this dialogue. The Goddess Discordia, fallen in universal disrepute brings complaints to the father Jupiter about unjust slander against her both from the men and from the gods, and to want to persuade the omnipotent one that Chaos is the true mother of Existence, the conservator of men and of everything earthbound; moreover not only is it good in itself, but its for its work that everything exists, without it there would be no moderates or extremes in the world, everything would mingle and muddle. On this basis: all is destruction and regeneration, and only Discordia can give knowledge of this. The incessant push and pull between these two operations is to all others essential. Observe the ingenuity in this Dialogue, tutio wrote to tucianesca, is truly a beautiful and ingenious sophism argued with panache, and often salted with wisdom in the style of the philosopher’s writings.
