Abstract
In the early Christian era, overthe migration of medical teachings fromhandbook to handbook,several processes of refinement occurred: for instance, prose form was converted into the poetic one.In this case, along with the metric arrangement, an expressive and vividvocabulary (i.e. a terminology generally and commonly considered ‘poetic’) was adopted in order to make this kind of rewriting emotional and to provide the technical-medical language with a stylistic surface.An example of this approach wassupplied by Plinius maior and Quintus Serenus with regard to their use of two seemingly similar words (sanguis and cruor).File in questo prodotto:
