    Discursive forms in Renaissance scienti!c literature: treatise and dialogue Up until now, there have been few studies dedicated to the renewal of genres in Renaissance scienti!c literature, despite the fact that this is a key factor of knowledge dissemination. Beyond the author�s aims �academic, informative, or controversial �, the adoption of a speci!c discursive form implies a given perspective in the interpretation of reality. %is article deals with the three available sixteenth-century Spanish works consisting of a treatise and a dialogue designed together as complementary units, and it analyzes the perceived potential of literary dialogue as a vehicle for scienti!c literature. %e conclusion is that Renaissance science does not necessarily choose from these two genres due to issues of knowledge dissemination, as is usually claimed; such a decision may be based on very complex reasons which must be considered in every case.
