EN] This volume presents a dissertation composed in Latin by Matthaeus Mariano as part of the requirements for the Master's degree at the Pontificium Institutum Altioris Latinitatis. Its subject is a longstanding debate within Christianity, one that has been discussed since the earliest days of the faith: whether Christians may legitimately devote themselves to secular learning, and to what extent such learning can be of benefit. To address this question, Matthaeus turns to the thought of Saint Augustine and Petrarch, examining their positions with careful attention to the historical and cultural contexts in which they lived. LA] Hoc volumine dissertatio continetur quam Matthaeus Mariano Latine exaravit ut lauream magistralem apud Pontificium Institutum Altioris Latinitatis impetraret. Huius thesis argumentum est illa controversia quam christiani inde ab religionis incunabulis agitarunt, utrum videlicet in humanas litteras eis imcumbere liceret quantumque eae litterae prodesse possent. Ut hanc controversiam solveret, Matthaeus Divi Augustini et Petrarcae sententias inspexit easque cum condicionibus quibus vixerunt conferens diligenter perpendit.
