Abstract: In 1599, the Thesaurus rhetoricae by G. B. Bernardo was published in Venice. This work seeks to define rhetorical processes and figures, organised alphabetically in a glossary with some five thousand entries. Each notice ends with a precise bibliographic indication which refers to a list of works placed at the front of the volume. The article focuses on this list in order to understand the rhetorical context in which contemporaries conceived of their discourse.
