Lessico, argomentazioni e strutture retoriche nella polemica di età cristiana

"The present volume collects the proceedings of the international colloquium "Lessico, argomentazioni e strutture retoriche nella polemica di età cristiana (III-V sec.)", held in Lecce (Italy) 9-10 April 2010. Papers are organized in three parts: 'I. Temi e aspetti della polemica religiosa'; 'II. Lessico e strutture retoriche del discorso polemico'; 'III. Religione e retorica: sviluppi successivi'. The first one brings together papers which examine the contents of some polemics in the patristic age; the second one privileges the rhetorical and lexical approach to the polemical texts; the third one is a kind of incursion in a field which, only at first sight, appears to be far from the core of the volume. All studies have the aim to approach the themes and the forms of the polemic and therefore to highlight the features related to "sapientia" and "eloquentia", in the words of Augustine, features which play a leading role in the intra-ecclesial and extra-ecclesial polemical debate with heathens and Jews"--
