Briguglia, Gianluca

doi:10.26350/001050_000209

The article focuses on the figure of Brunetto Latini (13th c.) and some fundamental aspects of his political thought. The analysis of this author, famous above all for the Tresor (written in prose and in French) and the Tesoretto (in verse and in Florentine), is done by considering also the current historiographical debate about the so called Italian Theory (or Italian Thought). The aim is not to relaunch the debate concerning the supposed features of a certain philosophical tradition, but making it interact with some philosophical elements of a political culture, born in the institutional environment of the Medieval Italy.
