sinopsis

This book offers the first comprehensive study of the reception of the classical tradition in
medieval Catalan letters, a multilingual process involving not only the Latin and Catalan
languages, but also neighbouring vernaculars like Aragonese, Castilian, French, and Italian.
The authors survey the development of classical literacy from the twelfth-century Aragonese
royal courts until the arrival of the printing press and the dissemination of Italian Humanism.
