Abstract
Livy, Saint Augustine, Petrarca and Coluccio Salutati were the authors whose Latin stories about Lucretia and Sofonisba succeed the most among readers and men of letters from Ancient times until early Renaissance. This work analyzes the presence of such autors through Castilian versions made in the first half of the Fifteenth Century. It is also given a critical edition of the Declamatio Lucretie Castilian version, as well as the transcription of a secret Letter from Sofonisba to Masinisa, not yet published.Downloads
