Abstract

The allegory is not only a rhetorical figure; it is an exegetic, literary, and artistic concept. Grounded in the ancient Greek and Latin traditions, where it is considered as a sustained metaphor, it is developed as a methodology of interpretation in the Patristics and Scholastic Philosophy, becoming an essential notion during the Italian Humanism and the Renaissance.
