Abstract

Continuing the Main Research Project - in which are provided 1) a full translation of Rettorica, by Brunetto Latini, and 2) a paper analysing the acceptance by Dante Alighieri of discursive resources of his master - this Research Internships Abroad proposes a period of research in Italy during three months for dialogue with important scholars who are dedicated to the topic discussed and for a specific bibliography in Italian archives, due to the scarcity of material in Brazil.
