Abstract

Gianfranco Contini, «philology poet» (G. Nencioni), enriches his prose with statements that are similar to aphorisms. What is their value? Can a nominalist communicate by using aphorisms? Is it possible to create a collection? This article, which is based on an actual case, gives an answer to these questions and suggests ideas for further considerations.
