Reminiscências da arte poética horaciana na obra do humanista Inácio de Morais

Following one of the precepts of poetic creation in Renaissance, it was common to imitate or transcribe expressions, phrases, verses, or use Greco-Latin classical exempla. From all sources of the work of the Portuguese poet and humanist Ignatius de Morais, the Latin poet Horace stands out; his reminiscences are widely disseminated throughout the work of Ignatius de Morais. There are several examples of the influence of the Venusian poet, but the largest and most evident ones come from Ars Poetic, the work that gave Renaissance poetics its most fruitful precepts, and from which Ignatius de Morais took ideas and transcribed or adapted verses. This study reveals the various Horatian reminiscences and their echoes in the work of Ignatius de Morais and shows how he was able to use them in order to give an even greater brilliance to his texts.
