The group's research attempts to relate and take into account three aspects that are often studied separately but which are inextricably linked to each other: rhetoric, humanism and the Classical Tradition. Rhetoric, as a legacy of Greco-Latin culture and as the central axis of education; humanism as a movement that tries to recover and restore the classical legacy, in which rhetoric is included and which shapes a new creative and creative attitude towards knowledge based on this restoration; and the Classical Tradition not only understood as the survival of references, themes, motifs or characters of Greco-Latin literature, but also of the specific procedures how this survival is produced. Thus, the research activity has as objectives: The study, edition and translation of technical treatises on Neo-Latin rhetoric and other literary productions in Latin from the 15th to the 19th century. The survival of elements of classical literature in Neo-Latin literature and in vulgar literature throughout Europe and the procedures that have made this possible.
