Abstract: This volume arises from the reflections of scholars from Italian and foreign universities on the concept of rhetoric in the Middle Ages and on rhetoric as a hermeneutic tool for medieval texts. The essays collected here explore, from different perspectives and with different methodologies, both general and more specific aspects related to the rhetorical structures and the language of verse and prose texts, written in ancient and medieval Germanic languages. Topics range from the relationship of rhetoric to orality and writing, to the influence of classical sources and models, to the role played by rhetorical tools and techniques in the texts, and the various cultural and communicative contexts in which these works are embedded. The volume thus offers a multifaceted overview of how rhetoric was conceived of in the Germanic Middle Ages, contributing to the scientific debate that has developed in recent years on these issues.
