Semiotic text of a secretary

May this title can astonishes somebody because semiotic is very strange, but it isn’t declaration for war is alone the science that studies valour of sign, every sign, and behaviour’s sign, the study of behaviour and of composition on text, but also in architecture or painting, that in art history is iconology, this is study of sign, object and other which has clear mean inherent to subject painted. I want consider an text or book which has author Michel De Montaigne, the Diary of a travel that is has made in Italy during 1580. The author I must consider that not is alone Montaigne, on contrary, for major part of this book is his secretary, and here important become the semiotic because on the text we can understand that author is other because he to grammatical text he uses pronoun of third person he, therefore other person has tool this travel, although not everything, but much he tells, and difference between interested and compiler is evident to episodes which are curious but without notation or other, it is alone a compilation and aseptic representation without historical interest, this text shows level of this secretary very below, and semiotic says what is the level of this secretary and what he has noted in cities which he has seen between Meaux, next Paris, and Rome travelling for German; in Rome he takes alone something that is very marginal, during papacy of Gregory 13^th, this travel started at 1580 and gone through France, German until Rome, but nothing is interesting for author, notation around inn and other, in Florence he describes passion of duke Francis 1th for alchemy but city is very small interest; the semiotic inquiry shows the level of this secretary and his interest for artistic moment which he lives; it is very below; therefore semiotic of text is necessary also for understand interest, culture and soul of writer.
