Abstract

The aim of this work is to study the text Arte de Construcción by Fray Pedro Masústegui. In this piece, Masústegui, following the lead of the rethoric-based humanist precepts which has its roots in classical rhetoric, offers a grammar for correctly translating and building Latin phrases, a language which serves both as model to Spanish. Therefore, this book has been conceived as a summary of grammar foundations of said classic language.
