Contra Mvndvm, Contra Metrvm : Prosper of Aquitaine, a Victim of Philology ( Ad Conivgem Svam 97)?
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The paper examines line 97 of the poem Ad coniugem suam , traditionally attributed to Prosper of Aquitaine. This line has been misedited in the last two critical editions by Hartel (1894) and Santelia (2009), whose unjustified omission of the words mundus and omnibus (respectively) resulted in an unmetrical line and distorted the meaning of the text. This paper, therefore, advocates for a restoration of the original line.
