Abstract
When a medieval Latin poet composed a satire, he had an important amount of theoretical material about this special literary Roman genre at his disposal. Theoretical precepts were formed on the basis of the opinions of Roman scholars, literary dictionaries, encyclopaedias, scholia about Roman satirists, and the literary programmatic expositions made by the Roman poets themselves: Lucilius, Horatius, Persius and Juvenalis. Programmatic expositions are a basic element in the composition of medieval Latin satire and not a mere label for this literary genre.
