  • Abstract: The links between the thought of space and the medieval art of rhetoric are open to further exploration. We present here the analysis of extracts from two treatises by the master of rhetoric Boncompagno da Signa (13th c.), both to correct some misunderstandings concerning the relation between memory and space, and to highlight the way he spatializes the description of the letter.
