摘要：This paper aims to offer an example of the influence of ancient rhetoric in the first and second chapters of the first book of the Primera parte de los Comentarios reales by the Inca Garcilaso, where the author deals with several cosmographic and geographic topics under controversy, as it is usual in other chronicles of the Indies. In order to do it, the argumentative structure of these chapters is compared to the argumentative strategies contained in the thesis, the progymnasma used from the Antiquity to practice how to amplify a matter of debate. One of the variations of the thesis was the “theoretical thesis”, dealing with cosmographic issues closely related to the ones discussed by Garcilaso. The similarity between the argumentative strategies recommended in the thesis and the ones used in the two chapters analysed here suggest that the Inca took advantage of the resources provided by this training exercise. It also reinforces the idea that the Peruvian historian mastered the rhetorical technique, although he didn't received any academic education
