Adversaria critica "al centone" De alea

Until today the cento, entitled De alea, was considered one of the most difficult to understand, because it describes, most likely, a game several aspects of which remain unclear. In this article numerous verses of the Cento are emended, providing, in general terms, methodological advises on the constitutio textus of the cento-poetry and coming to a clearer understanding of the subject described in the Cento De alea. The article contains, therefore, the prolegomena for a new critical edition of the Cento De alea.
