Abstract

Abstract This contribution aims to present some reflections regarding the text of the poetica tempestas in the Historia Apollonii regis Tyri (§ 11), which has always posed significant challenges to editors and commentators of this Late Antique novel. The investigation focuses particularly on the version contained in the earliest surviving redaction (RA), highlighting the poem’s debts to the Latin poetic tradition and proposing three suggestions for the constitution of the text. The aim is to demonstrate that this poetic insert is the product of a versifier with solid scholastic training and considerable qualities, certainly not inferior to those exhibited by the redactor of RB.
