Abstract

This article presents a study and the first critical edition and translation into a modern language of a Latin letter that Lucius Flaminius, a Sicilian poet living in our country and teaching at the University of Salamanca between 1504 and 1509. This letter was addressed to the Spanish grammarian Antonio de Nebrija on 23 May 1504 and published in Salamanca on 31 May of that same year at the end of the commentary by Nebrija to the Persius’ ‘Satires’. The importance of this epistle lies in the fact that it is a key piece to reconstruct on the one hand the controversy between Antonio de Nebrija and his supporters and opponents in Salamanca and on the other hand the events that occurred at the University between November 1503 and May 1504.
