Primo saggio di analisi testuale della Rettorica di Brunetto Latini: i capitoli iniziali

The Starting Chapters of Brunetto Latini’s Rettorica, a First Attempt of a Textual Analysis This article deals with a textual analysis of the structure of the starting chapters of Brunetto Latini’s Rettorica. Our aim is to study the relation between the translation from Cicero’s De inventione and its comment for demonstrating that the architecture of Rettorica bends to Brunetto’s authorial will. In analyzing the first and fifth chapters we discussed the complexity of the textual constructions in a microstructural as well as in a macrostructural way.
