- Published
- Kwartalnik Neofilologiczny 17 (1970): 119-27.
- Description
- Observes parallels between the discussion of true gentility in WBT ("gentilesse"; 3.1109-1212) and fifteenth-century treatments of the subject in Latin (by Buonaccurso de Montemagno), French (Jean Mielot), and English (John Tiptoft), observing that there is no radical break between medieval and Renaissance discussions of the topic, which share similar classical roots.
