Summary: This article discusses debates in French literature before Guillaume de Machaut, with references to Occitan and Latin. It shows that debates were widely practiced during that period and often represented in texts and manuscripts. The article describes two approaches to debate: an intrinsic approach where the terms of the debate dictate the debaters' strategy, and a contextual approach where debaters incorporate their own particulars into the conversation. It also discusses two manuscripts as examples of how texts can generate debates through their material presentation. Overall, this article contributes to scholarship on debate literature by proposing a practice-based approach and emphasizing the thriving literary tradition of debate in the twelfth to early fourteenth century.

Summary: This article studies the translation of Il cortegiano by Castiglione into the Spanish language by Juan Boscan in 1534, as well as its reception in Spain. Seen as a true emblem of Renaissance culture, Il cortegiano sketches the figure of the modern gentleman within the boundaries of its four books, becoming a long-lasting and internationally influential anthropological model that defined the man of the world in the courts and political society of the Ancient Regime. Based on this fact, and within the framework of a European phenomenon, this article aims to explain the genesis of its Spanish translation, offer a renewed reconstruction of its editorial trajectory throughout the 16th century - with special attention to the incorporation of paratexts that conditioned its reading and interpretation - and analyze the influence of the dialogue on Spanish literature, both in the realm of prose of ideas (courtly discourse) and fiction.

Summary: In the late 14th century, the integration of the three crowns in Iberian literatures took place through alternative and complementary means in the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. The diffusion of certain texts by Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio gained momentum with new adaptations and translations during the rise of the Trastamara dynasty. This appropriation of these authors resulted in complex textual artifacts and bold cultural and political devices.
