Abstract
This paper is dedicated to three early medieval ‘centonizations’ exploiting phrases and passages taken from Dracontius’s De laudibus Dei. My aim is to reconstruct their compositional technique by comparing it with the rules established by late antique centoists. It seems evident that the composition of early medieval centos has very little in common with the technical mastery of their late antique counterparts as it is more likely that an early medieval cento was composed for a student.
