Description
Summary:This paper analyses the features of the genre of the Isagogicon moralis disciplinae (1424/1425) by the Italian humanist Leonardo Bruni and the rhetorical mechanisms used by the author in the dispositio of the work, which is a model of the conjunction between the classical tradition and Bruni's civil bases. He makes a philosophical-didactical dialogue built according to the rhetorical precept of exordium, narratio, argumentatio and peroratio. The narratio and the argumentatio are developed following the model of Cicero's quaestio infinita cognitionis in the Topica. Bruni seeks the reader to be moved to practice his own doctrine, so this is the reason why he includes the exordium and the peroratio. In all that, it can be distinguished an intention of integrating the Dialectics into the Rhetoric, according to Cicero's style, striking a balance in the text between the inventio, the form and the organization of both of them.
