Abstract

Sometimes in his works Venantius Fortunatus (c. 535-600 A.D.) talks of codices donated to, borrowed from or transcribed for someone else, as well as of papyrus letters, wax tablets and autography. This paper aims to provide some insights into the materiality of both books and writing in Venantius’ poetry, through a review of the references scattered in his poems.
