Among the numerous examples of literary travesty written during the 17th century, Giovanni Battista Lalli’s Eneide travestita and Paul Scarron’s Virgile travesti represent a curious coincidence. The relationship between the two texts, published 15 years apart from each other, has been studied by different critics, who have highlighted either the analogies, that may suggest a direct influence of one author (Lalli) over the other (Scarron), or the differences, which on the contrary could imply the complete independence of the latter from the former. A close analysis of both works, however, shows that the truth might be more complex.

Abstract
Among the numerous examples of literary travesty written during the 17th century, Giovanni Battista Lalli’s Eneide travestita and Paul Scarron’s Virgile travesti represent a curious coincidence. The relationship between the two texts, published 15 years apart from each other, has been studied by different critics, who have highlighted either the analogies, that may suggest a direct influence of one author (Lalli) over the other (Scarron), or the differences, which on the contrary could imply the complete independence of the latter from the former. A close analysis of both works, however, shows that the truth might be more complex.
