worldandtheconceptofnobleman,asdefinedintheLusoCastilinnobiliary
treatises at the beginning of the Modern Age, by examining the role and
influence of such authors as Aristotle and Cicero and its interpretation by
modern theoreticians of nobility. It therefore provides an approach to the
studyof the ideaof excellenceandsocialprominencewhichare inherent in
the concept of nobleman proper and to the social relevance of some key
concepts,suchasvirtueandhonour.Nobilitytreatisesshouldbeinterpreted

communicate social prestige. In this respect, both antiquity and the classics
provide diverse forms of expression and the articulation of the concept of
noblemanwhichwasusefulat a timewhen,aswas the caseof theModern
Age,nobilitywasprevalent.
