A possible influence of Dionysius of Halicarnassus on the historiographical thought of Luis Vives
Abstract
This article explores a possible influence of Dionysius of Halicarnassus in the historiographical conception of the Valencian humanist Luis Vives. Vives joined the atmosphere of renewal of the liberal arts of his time, always with a Ciceronian approach that gave primacy to the first three arts of discourse, and to the synthetic combination between philosophy and rhetoric. It is a pedagogical model coming from Isocrates. As Dionysius of Halicarnassus had a great influence of these ideas, developing their possibilities in the historiographic plane, he would have become a perfect model for Luis Vives.
