Sui principî della poesia, la ricerca intertestuale con strumenti elettronici

By using innovative information technological tools, this paper considers the relationship between Late Latin poetry and Republican authors of epic literature. The paper focuses on a selection of texts to demonstrate that Ennius’ Annales had been for some centuries not only a powerful engine of poetic inspiration but also a rich repository of patterns and frameworks (e.g. words, sounds, metric, rhythm) for both ecclesiastic and profane versifiers.
