Abstract

During his lifetime, Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda (1490-1573) only published two epigrams: In Stunicam and In Maximilianum archiducem Austriae. On the basis of an eighteenth-century manuscript, preserved at the Real Academia de la Historia (Madrid), Losada ascribed to Sepúlveda two further epigrams: In Aelium Nebrissensem and In Paniza. The former has certainly to be rejected, taking into account chronological and ecdotic arguments. With respect to the latter (which has to be dated between 1514 and 1522), its ascription to Sepúlveda has to be regarded as a hopeful assumption at best: indeed, even if we lack conclusive arguments for denying Sepúlveda’s authorship, conclusive pieces of evidence are missing for supporting such an attribution. A critical edition and translation of the epigrams In Aelium Nebrissensem and In Paniza is also provided.
