| Abstract | |
This work examines the construction of the prefaces of Ciceros dialogues and points some elements which are part of its composition. In preface, genres precepts are articulated; genre is announced as sermo and disputatio; the continens oratio is introduced as one way of interlocution; auctoritas is pointed up among features which Romans want to see in personae who circulate in the dialogues. Otium and feriae Latinae are adequate circumstances, and pleasant familiar environment in countryside is suitable set to genre. Preliminary conversation is verified as a preface of conversation, performing a complementary role to preface of dialogue. The translation into Portuguese of the referred prefaces is also obtainable.
