Abstract
The internal syntax principles in the structuring of the lines of Hisperica Famina reveal affinities with other parallel texts, including some metrical inscriptions of burial subject, from Visigothic Spain, collected and edited by José Vives. The predilection, clearly evident in the Hisperica Famina, for hyperbatic structures could denote the will to reproduce, in a sort of artistic prose, elegance of classical hexameter: in this sense, the Famina could connect to a long tradition, that of influence of hexametrical poetry on prose. Other related texts are the Carmen Paschale of Celius Sedulius and the epistle of Aldhelm to Heahfrith.
