Abstract
An anonymous interpolation according to modern textual criticism, the word ἐποποιία in Poetics 1447 a 28 was viewed among Renaissance scholars as originally written by Aristotle, thus giving the text a puzzling meaning —epic may be written both in verse and prose—. This article analyzes some implications of that reading in the interpretation of its broader Aristotelian context by humanists as well as in the Renaissance theory of literary genres.
