Observações sobre as vidas dos poetas após Virgílio” (What is the life of a poet like? Observations on the lives of the poets after Virgil) and “Considerações sobre modelos diferentes de recepção clássica: questões de história da Língua Latina” (Considerations concerning varying models of Classical reception: issues of the history of the Latin language).
