This article examines the influence of Sallust and Lucretius on the ideological postulates of Herrera's Anotaciones, set out in the prologue to the reader written by Francisco de Medina. The article highlights the rhetorical and intertextual strategies deployed by the Sevillian humanist to prop up the role of Herrera at the top of a Republic of Letters of global reach at the end of the sixteenth century, while shedding light on how his canonization contributes to the construction of the collective imaginary around the translatio imperii et studii in Philip II's Spain.
