Abstract. To this day nobody knows where the epigraph of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Purloined Letter comes from. It is a maxim generally imputed to Seneca (Nil sapientiae odiosius acumine nimio), but the phrase is not found neither in his authentic works, nor in those erroneously transmitted under his name. This study is an attempt to reveal the mystery. At the same time, it discusses the problem of authenticity, autorial status, literary gender and "property"
