Abstract

The paper aims to analyse the role of allegory in describing grammar and its fields of application. It will show how these boundaries are in fact particularly blurred and have different representations. In this variety of representations, one sees how Eberard the German, with his considerations within the strand of prosopopoeia, emerges and how his representation of grammar is the child of a very rich literary and iconographic tradition.
