Contributo para o estudo da correspondência de Cícero e Jerónimo Osório
| Resumo: | This article aims to contribute for the research about the semantic relationship between Marcus Tullius Cicero , the Roman politician and author active in the I century BC, and D. Jerónimo Osório, the renaissance bishop considered one of the greatest humanists in Portuguese literary history, whom popular culture would come to consider a (in this case, lusitanian) second Cicero. Based on the comparison between excerpts and particularities of the two authors‘ epistolographic bibliography, we intended to identify and define traces of cultural affinity between literary oeuvres (and real life parallelisms), regarding epistolographic production and ethical concepts about public/political activity as an essential component of the human state (as shared between classical antiquity and early modern humanism). This way, we expand the knowledge about Osório‘s ciceronian dimension, proposing a need for more research on the subject. |
