This text chronicles a change in epistolary persuasion in the
1230's, crystallized at the imperial chancery of Frederick II,
Emperor from 1220-1250. There, traditional appeals, premised on
authority and harmony, were challenged by letters in which
historical circumstances functioned as an integral part of the
strategy of persuasion. Based on the close reading of "Artes
Dictandi", as well as a series of letters issued from the papal and
imperial chanceries, this book explores the theory and practice of
medieval letter-writing. Letters are evaluated as verbal acts
intended to persuade, with the public as the ultimate arbiter of
success. The author argues that the form, proportion and style of
letters were contoured by ideology.
