Description: The paper aims to analyse the section de sermocinatione (103, 8–105, 8) of Julius Victor’s Ars rhetorica in order to identify his possible models. In particular, the de sermocinatione finds an interesting and unexplored precedent in Cicero’s De officiis, in whose chapters 132-137 of the first book the sermo, understood as conversation, is addressed in function of the decorum. In light of this correspondence, the paper proposes a comparison between off. I 132-137 and the de sermocinatione in order to detect the points of contact and assonances and to illuminate new perspectives both on De officiis’s late reception and on Julius Victor’s possible Quellenforshung. In this regard, particular attention is paid to the conception oratio = vita, expressed by Julius Victor in the sentence sermo cuiusque mores probat, present – although in a slightly different form – also in off. I 134 and belonging to a tradition of Greek origin widely developed in the Latin world, especially by Seneca in Epistles 114 and 115. [Author]
