This chapter is a part of the 119 works from the corpus of the Latin dialogues of the Middle Ages presented in this book Lateinische Dialoge 1200-1400. It presents the title, incipit and explicit as well as information on author, date, textual transmission, editions and a summary of the contents. The chapter presents a dialogue between Franciscan who has the longer speeches and better arguments, and the parochial vicar responding inadequately and to some extent with naive objections. The persons are characterized: while the parish priest speaks angrily and rudely, and shows himself as ignorant and naive, the Franciscan remains calm and polite, albeit hard in the matter, and seldom accusing his opponent of ignorance. The original text of the chapter is in German.
