Abstract

Erasmus’ edition of Publilio Siro’s Sententiae (1514) constitutes a landmark in the literary fortune of this Roman mime and his work. This article studies the relationship between the sententiae of Publilio Siro selected by Erasmus and the Sententiae ueterum poetarum (1534) by G. Maior and the Sententiae et Exempla ex probatissimis scriptoribus collecta (1557) by A. Rodrigues de Évora. The analysis of these works will allow to offer a thematic classification of the Erasmian selection and to show to what extent these compilers have followed the Erasmian edition.
