The pepper, the incense, the salted fish, the olive and the book

Abstract

The article deals with the ancient sources of one locus of Chorier's Satyra Sotadica (Piper et thus minabatur. Erat Argenis toga cordyllis et paenula olivis futura...). In the context of the forthcoming metempsychosis of Luisa Sigea in the introduction to the text, he claims that the real author of the text, Chorier was suggesting that Sigea's reincarnated soul would reappear in the world in his own body.
