De la retórica a la ficción by Leonardo Funes

“…The incorporation into the chronistic narrative of direct speech has been a historiographical resource from classic Antiquity. The conventional acceptance of textual citation words pronounced by historical characters was included in the "historiographical" pact (the public accepts the poetical or rhetorical license as an expression of the most profound dimension of historical truth).However, when Alphonsine and Post-Alphonsine chroniclers began to incorporate dialogues in direct speech, this convention was a challenge for the claim to truth made by chronicle narratives.This article aims to trace the evolution of the use of direct speech from Alphonsine historiography to the historiography of John II of Castile, in order to evaluate its impact on the historical and fictional narrative forms.…”

The crucial role which publishers played in the selection and dissemination of scholarship has been addressed in recent studies of the history of the book, and there is a growing literature on the role of publishers in the dissemination of scientific knowledge, but there has to date been very limited evaluation of the role of publishers in the selection and dissemination of archaeological knowledge in Britain in this period. …”

Początki mowy u małych dzieci w koncepcjach rzymskich intelektualistów, Augustyna i Jana Chryzostoma by Juliusz Jundziłł
