Descrizione: My main goal is to identify some rhetorical pillars of the Confucius Sinarum Philosophus and, where possible, some passages that suggest the author’s possible reading of Classical sources, including Plato and Aristotle and, in particular, two of the main Roman thinkers mentioned above, Cicero and Seneca. In this paper, I will deal in particular with the content of the Epistula praefatoria, written by Philippe Couplet. In short, I aim to show that Couplet was deeply indebted not only to the tradition of Medieval Latin, in particular to the theological texts, and to the teaching of the humanists and their recovering of classical texts but also to Classical authors.
