Abstract
This paper examines the novelty of magister Boncompagno da Signa's Liber de obsidione Ancone (1198-1201) in comparison to the communal historiography. Starting from the Boncompagno's biography and works, and from the prologus of the Liber , it emphasizes Boncompagno's autorship as well as his attempt to acquire the writing of history to the domain of academic rhetoric.
