A collection of satirical stories and sketches in form of prosimetrum found in ms. Dublin 602 and possibly written in England ca. 1200, was first edited by M. L. Colker in 1975: according to remarkable and pervasive influence of Petronius’ Satyricon , both in attitudes and in language, Colker named the text as ‘Petronius redivivus’ . In a renewed edition published in 2007 the same scholar proposes to assign this text to Helias of Thriplow. This paper offers a thorough discussion of the constitutio textus and a few notes about linguistic peculiarities and technical dictionary.
