Resum:
This study proposes reading of Tirant lo Blanch in the light of Vegetius’ Epitoma rei militaris, the military manual par excellence of the Middle Ages. Indeed, in the prologue to what we now consider a chivalric novel, Joanot Martorell describes his book as a manual, in which military practice, beyond mere exercise and sport, is primarily an art that offers the hero a means of social advancement and the chance to command an empire.
