Vives en la encrucijada: de nuevo viejas controversias entre humanistas y escolásticos a propósito de unos comentarios al De civitate Dei de san Agustín

The De Veteribus Interpretibus , one of the introductory texts included in the different editions of the Commentaries of JLVives to De Civitate Dei de S. Agustín, presents the Valencian humanist as an unconditional defender of the new cultural proposals that Humanism advocates against the position of the scholastics. Both here and in In Pseudodialecticos Vives defends a genuine reading of the texts to analyze, underlining the essential role of the com- petition that the commentator should have in the knowledge of the Latin Language. We include an analysis of the De veteribus and analyze some texts that base the opinions of the Valencian humanists.
