Abstract

The study of the evolution of humanism and Renaissance within the Catalan speaking area has not paid enough attention to the process of innovation and adaptation of Latin grammar and rethoric. It is the author's conclusion that the work of the Valentian Joan Esteve Liber elegantiarum (1489) is, to a great extent, a re-ordering of the matters discussed in Rudimenta gramatices (1473) by N. Perotti (1429-1480).
