Del "Ars grammaticae" al "Ars epistolaris" : el "De componendis epistolis" de Niccolò Perotti

El propósito de este trabajo es poner de relieve el papel primordial que algunas artes grammaticae, como los Rudimenta grammatices de Niccolo Perotti, representaron en el desarrollo y evolución del arte epistolar en los albores del Renacimiento. Numerosas ediciones del De componendis epistolis, última sección del ars de Perotti, permanecen inéditas en las bibliotecas, siendo objeto de lecturas parciales que han minusvalorado su significación en la historia de la epistolografia. La carta-modelo que cierra el tratado es el verdadero eje nuclear de cuantas enseñanzas gramaticales inserta en su tercer libro el preceptista italiano. El análisis de esta epístola conclusiva nos permite advertir en su justa medida el espíritu humanista que alienta la concepción esencialmente globalizadora y pedagógica que el autor tenía del género epistolar.The object of this paper is to show the fundamental role that some artes grammaticae, such as, Rudimenta grammatices de Niccolo Perotti, had in the unfolding of the epistolary art at the beginnings of the Renaissance. However, still many copies on Perotti's last section of his ars, De componendis epistolis, continue to hide unpublished in libraries, being the object of neglet and partial readings that understimate the role ot the work in the history of epistolography. The model letter which ends the thirde book of this treatise is the true centre of all his grammatical teaching. A closed analysis of this epistle allows us to fully appreciate the humanistic spint that permeates the global and pedagogial conception the Italian author had on the epistolary genre
