Summary/Abstract: In this contribution, the Authoress examines the literary fortune of the tragedies of Seneca from the first century after Christ until the late Middle Ages. Through a careful analysis of the scarce surviving testimonies she hypothesizes that the first complete collection of all tragedies began to circulate only in the precarolingian age, whereas in previous centuries they have had an autonomous diffusion.
