Dominant Lines, devoted to the new definition of the concepts of Humanism and Mediterranean Renaissance. The author traces some lines that may be common to the cultural evolution of the nascent nations bordering the Mediterranean in the 15th century, which found a point of reference in the rediscovery of classicism.
