"Alma dies magnis celebratur coetibus": sul reimpiego di alcuni versus natalicii di Paolino di Nola nella Chronica monasterii Casinensis di Leone Marsicano

In the Chronica monasterii Casinensis, within the narrative of the ceremony of consecration of the new church, Leo inserts eighteen hexameters taken from the third natalicium of Paulinus Nolanus. The paper analyses the modalities and purposes of this re-use, which shows the persistence of the exercises of versification of scholastic tradition and provides indications for the history of the reception, but also of the textual transmission, of Natalicia.
