Descrizione: Barbara Del Giovane analyzes a minor but interesting aspect of Cicero’s reception, i. e., the portrait of Cicero as a humourist. Starting from a re-examination of the ancient literary judgments on Cicero as a master of irony, it points to the commonly perceived absence of moderation in Cicero’s use of jests and verbal jokes and observes that later receptions tended to focus on the opposition between the ideal of wit declared by Cicero in his works and the irony displayed outside theoretical and ‘programmatical’ contexts of his rhetorical corpus. [Berno & La Bua 2022, xix]
