Una formula di appello al lettore da Ovidio a Marziale

In Ovid’s Tristia the formula 'Qui legis' is used by the poet to address the reader of his poetry and of other literary genres. The paper aims at demonstrating both that Ovid borrowed that formula from funerary epigrammatic tradition and how Martial did use that periphrastic expression, showing to follow the ovidian manner as well as to regain the original funerary epigrammatic context. This particular example also represents a significant proof of Ovid’s “epigrammatic” reception by Martial.
