The Quadrige, a work written in 1217 by the master and notary Arsegino, is the first medieval Paduan literary document. It is a manual representative of the most prosperous period of the ars dictaminis, one of the great summae, along with the treatises of Bene of Florence and Guido Faba, which emerged in the first half of the twentieth century under the influence of the Bolognese cultural environment. For the composition of the treatise, Arsegino was inspired by the classical and medieval rhetorical-grammatical tradition, showing himself to be a great connoisseur and eclectic compiler of the main currents that had arisen up to that time within the ars dictaminis. The work therefore reflects the different doctrines and tensions that ran through the genre at a crucial time for its subsequent evolution. The edition presented in this volume, the first of the complete work, is accompanied by a fronte translation in Spanish, a preliminary study and an exhaustive apparatus of notes that allow the master's doctrines to be contextualised in the historical development of the genre.
