Summary

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to show that the discussion on the authorship of the Peri Hermeneias attributed to Apuleius, a matter that is very difficult to determine with certainty, can receive interesting elements of judgment from the clarification that the De syllogismo categorico of Boethius and the PeriH of Apuleius are similar between. Thus, this article aims to show that not only the exposition on Aristotelian logic made by the author of PeriH (whether Apuleius or not), but also that of Marius Victorinus, which has not reached us, that of Tullius Marcellus Carthaginensis, which also did not survive, and the later ones of Boethius and Marciano Capella, are all dependent on the first and original exposition of Aristotelian logic made by Theophrastus in his First Analytics, or by some author around him.
Keywords: Apuleius, Logic, history of transmission.
