摘要：The purpose of this article is to analyze a short, little-known—yet notably rich—work of Leon Battista Alberti, in order, first, to grasp its relations to its classical model, the pseudo-Pythagorean Golden Verses , as well as to the rest of Alberti’s writing, and then to determine its nature. The author is thereby led to refute the theory that this is a treatise of esoteric hermeticism or a sort of prayer which might offer information about the religious beliefs of Alberti. An edition of the text and a translation into French are appended.
