- Title
La retórica al servicio de la alabanza de la dama. Análisis de la hyperbole sacra y la collatio aperta en los decires de loores de Juan de Mena.

- Abstract
Juan de Mena is one of the most important Spanish poets of the 15th century. The eulogy dits "Presumir de vos loar", "Muy más clara que la luna" and "Guay de aquel hombre que mira" stand out among his lyrical dits. These poems are characterized by the praise of the lady's beauty and virtue, through the use of amplificatio resources, more specifically the collatio aperta. This paper deals with the very relationship between collatio and hyperbole. Ever since the previous century, researchers have been interested in the use of the hyperbole sacra in Mena's poetry; however, as will be seen, the hyperbole sacra is only one of the forms of this figure of thought, because Mena uses concepts from Greek mythology and even nature elements in the praise of the lady as well as the terminology from Christian iconography; furthermore he usually relies on comparison, collatio aperta, for his elaboration.
