Abstract
Solinus wrote his Collectanea rerum memorabilium with the firm purpose of preserving Classical culture�s memoria, when the author perceived that he was living a time of decadence, far away from the golden age of antiquity. this summa of knowledge will take shape in the Collectanea rerum memorabilium through a careful structural planning, which thus will give coherence to the whole work. this paper explores Solinus� programmatic statements, his position regarding the sources and the structural planning chosen by the author for his work.
