| "The profane wisdom (knowledge) " is the title for the illustration shown in the slide. This drawing was taken from Rhetorica Christiana. The ¡llustration reveals the importance of universal education for human beings. Valades considered the concept of universal education as important and necessary, especially for religious purposes. Knowledge in liberal arts, humanities and letters, profane sciences and everything which provides concrete fundamentals toward the sacred writings and theology are essential assets for any person. (Chapters 3 through 7 in Rhetorica Christiana contains the information provided). | ||
