Riflettori accesi su Flavio Cresconio Corippo

Abstract

The only two Corippus’ works handed down to us are Iohannis
seu de bellis Libycis and In laudem Iustini Augusti minoris. They
are very important for the evolution of epic and eulogistic
literature in the late Antiquity and for the history of Roman
Africa in the 6th century. In the last decades, significant studies
have appeared and considerable lectures have been given on
Corippus. The paper takes stock of them.
