The questionable reuse of Seneca (epist. 84) by Macrobius (Sat. 1, praef. 5-11) is the result of a different intentio: an imitative-creative intentio in Seneca, an educational-pedagogical intentio in Macrobius. Petrarca’s work (Fam. 1,8; 22,2; 23,19) has been animated by the concept of the creative imitatio and the greater adherence to the Seneca’s text. Petrarca resumes the "father-son" metaphor, which is absent in Macrobius' work, signifying identitas rather than similitudo.

Abstract
The questionable reuse of Seneca (epist. 84) by Macrobius (Sat. 1, praef. 5-11) is the result of a different intentio: an imitative-creative intentio in Seneca, an educational-pedagogical intentio in Macrobius. Petrarca’s work (Fam. 1,8; 22,2; 23,19) has been animated by the concept of the creative imitatio and the greater adherence to the Seneca’s text. Petrarca resumes the "father-son" metaphor, which is absent in Macrobius' work, signifying identitas rather than similitudo.File in questo prodotto:
