Abstract
Ausone has, through his education and his profession as a teacher, a very good knowledge of classical authors. Often he reuses the texts of the auctores to make them say something other than what they were saying. The most significant cases are the Cento, the Ludus, Epigrams 14, 20 and 75. In the Cento Virgil is a basis for creating a different literary genre, he is decontextualized. Similarly in the Ludus the models Plautus and Terence are diverted because if the work is a show (meaning of ludus), it is in no way a comedy. Finally, in some of the Epigrams, the classical sources serve as a starting point to hold a different point. The whole shows the creative character of Ausone’s writing and its ability to go beyond the boundaries of literary genres.
Ausone a, par sa formation et son metier de professeur, une tres bonne connaissance des auteurs classiques. Souvent il reutilise les textes des auctores pour leur faire dire autre chose que ce qu’ils disaient. Les cas les plus significatifs sont le Cento, le Ludus, les Epigrammes 14, 20 et 75. Dans le Cento Virgile est une base pour creer un genre litteraire different, il est devoye par decontextualisation. De meme dans le Ludus les modeles Plaute et Terence sont detournes car si l’oeuvre est un spectacle (sens de ludus), ce n’est en aucun cas une comedie. Enfin dans certaines des Epigrammes les sources classiques servent de point de depart pour tenir un propos different. L’ensemble montre le caractere creatif de l’ecriture d’Ausone et sa capacite a depasser les frontieres des genres litteraires.
