Cieľom príspevku je pojednanie o troch homiletických cnostiach: comitas (láskavosti), veracitas (pravdovravnosti) a urbanitas (duchaplnosti). V prvej časti autorka zameriava svoj pohľad na definíciu týchto pojmov u starovekých autorov a v stredoveku, aby si následne mohla detailnejšie všimnúť, ako boli pertraktované pojmy vnímané v novolatinskom písomníctve. Okrem starovekých autorít pri špecifikácii využíva i mladšie spisy zaoberajúce sa danou problematikou. Hlbšej analýze je podrobená najmä etická rozprava z roku 1642 pojednávajúca práve o troch zmienených cnostiach v ľudskej komunikácii.

Keywords: rečnícke cnosti, novolatinské písomníctvo, etická dišputa

Comitas, Veracitas, Urbanitasque - Three Pillars of Human Communication and their Modification in Neo-Latin Literature

The aim of this paper is to deal with three homiletic virtues - comitas (kindness), veracitas (truthfulness) and urbanitas (ingenuity). In the first part, the author aims at a definition of these terms at Ancient writers and in the Middle Ages to be able to specify in a detail how discussed terms were perceived in neo-Latin literature. Except for Ancient authorities, she also uses younger writings that are focused on this matter. A deeper analysis is applied for the ethical disputation from 1642 that concerns itself with three mentioned virtues in human communication.

Keywords: rhetorical virtues, neo-Latin literature, ethical disputation
