Summary/Abstract: Dialogicity between the Bible, Humanism and the Middle Ages in the Secretum of Francesco Petrarca. While tracing the biblical intertext in Petrarch’s Secretum, a new glimmer seems to illuminate upon the sense of the book. The title echoes medieval monastic texts that clarify the importance of an autobiographical data of the poet; referring to his Carthusian brother’s monastic formation, Petrarch traces the profile of the humanist scholar.
