Ten little things that magnify the Catalan Griselda: The stories of Griselda by the Italian authors, Boccaccio and Petrarca, bear witness to a profound discussion, as revealed by the epistolary of the Seniles. Bernat Metge, sensitive to the new current, enters into this controversy with his Catalan version and through some letters. His support for Boccaccio and the disjunction towards the mentor, which were already known, we analyze here from ten corners of observation, which explain the sign of the Humanisme in its origins, and can still give reason for its course.
