Descrição: Vitruvian scholarship has been much involved in defining the literary genre of this peculiar Latin text. Scholars have often problematized the question as to whether Vitruvius' work should be considered "technical" writing. More recently, it has convincingly been argued that this text is not a Sach- nor a Handbuch and that the definition of technical writing does not fit here--or at least not completely. Mireille Courrent, for instance, rightly insists that Vitruvius' work is not a technical text but a "literary work" and, as such, "the expression of an individual." Here, Formisano argues the kind of individuality Courrent emphasizes in the case of de Architectura can also be found in other ancient technical texts belonging to disciplines such as medicine, the art of war, agriculture, and many others.
