Abstract

Summary – The treatise “Vergilius orator an poeta”, attributed to P. Annius Florus (who often is identified with the historian Florus) is known only from a fragment in one single manuscript, Brussels, Royal Library of Belgium, MS 10615-729. After its discovery in the 1830s, this fragment has often been edited, with ever more emendations. The present article proposes a new edition, returning to the manuscript itself, and weighing and discussing all preceding corrections.
