A sort of oncography syllabary characterized by an extraordinary mixture of medical terminology and commonplaces, colloquial expressions and courtly loans from classical languages, foreign idioms, dialects and periphrastic language originated from 'oncologhems' used instead of the word 'cancer', as well as from synaesthesias, tropes, processes, remembrances, olfactory and visual perceptions and the inflation of interrupted works.Metastasi cartacee Cancer in literatureDiseases in literatureEuropean literatureCancer in literature.Diseases in literature.European literature.850.93561Rekut-Liberatore Oleksandra1023295NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910571759703321Metastasi cartacee3363342UNINA
