dioevali e umanistici. Essa è accompagnata da una originale traduzione in versi italiani e da un commento dedicato all'analisi dei non pochi problemi ecdotici che il testo solleva. Il volume, ospitato nella collana 'Anthologiarum Latinarum parerga' di Loriano Zurli, si colloca nell'ambito del pluriennale progetto di revisione filologica dei testi dell'Anthologia Latina I2 1-2, Lipsiae 1894-1906, di Alexander Riese. The Versus sapientum de diuersis causis (AL 495-638 Riese2) are a collection of poetry composed by an anonymous poet belonging to the school environment probably in a Gallic milieu between the IV and V centuries AD. This collection comprises twelve series of twelve poems each and reflects an elegant literary game consisting in one poet presenting the topic - often drawn by the classical repertoir of the schools - around which the others have to improvise their compositions. Due to a connection with the Appendix Vergiliana, the work had great success, which is proved bythe high number of manuscripts and printed editions transmitted. This volume aims to offer to readers a new critical edition of this collection based on a detailed study - that a rich introduction accounts for - of the medieval and humanistic testimonia. It is associated with an original translation in Italian verses and a commentary dedicated to the analysis of the many ecdotical problems the text raises. The volume, set in the series 'Anthologiarum Latinarum parerga', directed by Loriano Zurli, is part of the long-time project of philological review of the texts in the Anthologia Latina I2 1-2, Lipsiae 1894-1906, of Alexander Riese.
