Although structured as a forensic oratio, the text incorporates resources from the humanistic disputatio--prosopopoeia, apostrophe, enargeia, concessio--that turn it into a "dialogue in absentia" with historical and imaginary adversaries. The study shows how Valla constructs plausible scenes to highlight the implausibility of the Constitutum Constantini, personifies figures such as the forger "Palea" to expose their ignorance or hypocrisy, and employs concessio as a dialectical trap that reinforces his refutation. These strategies serve not only a stylistic function but also shape a "dialogical critique" in which philology becomes performative, revives the past, and strips texts and institutions of their authority. It is concluded that this work combines forensic rhetoric and dialogical dramatization to transform philological criticism into an act of intellectual emancipation, affirming the primacy of reason and evidence over all hierarchy. Este artículo analiza el De falso credita et ementita Constantini donatione de Lorenzo Valla a partir de sus vínculos con el género dialógico que cultivó en obras como De vero bono, De libero arbitrio y De professione religiosorum. Aunque estructurado como una oratio forense, el texto incorpora recursos propios de la disputatio humanística --prosopopeya, apóstrofe, enargeia, concessio-- que lo convierten en un "diálogo in absentia" con adversarios históricos e imaginarios. El estudio muestra cómo Valla construye escenas verosímiles para resaltar la inverosimilitud del Constitutum Constantini, personifica figuras como el falsificador "Palea" para exhibir su ignorancia o hipocresía, y emplea la concessio como trampa dialéctica que refuerza la refutación. Estas estrategias no cumplen solo una función estilística, sino que configuran una "crítica dialógica" en la que la filología se vuelve performativa, revive el pasado y despoja de autoridad a textos e instituciones. Se concluye que esta obra combina retórica forense y dramatización dialógica para transformar la crítica filológica en un acto de emancipación intelectual, afirmando la primacía de la razón y de la evidencia frente a toda jerarquía. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: Spanish refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Talia Dixit is the property of Talia Dixit and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
