Talk:Tertulia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This would gain context by being a section at salon, especially since it has no currency whatsoever in English, beyond describing this Spanish convention. The derivation from Tertullian? The move into public bars etc is a very recent populist extension. In mid-18th century Italy, such a formalized meeting was a conversazione. Not encyclopedic all on its own like this, unless someone can give us 1000 words on Tertulia... --Wetman 02:50, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of the word

I found no reference to connect Tertulia with Tertullian. The Real Academia Española provides no etymology for the word (RAE:tertulia). Mariano(t/c) 07:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
