The theory of comedy, a «mentioned but not discussed» genre in Aristotle's Poetics, has great interest in the Italian Poetics of the Renaissance, for two main reasons: to complete the Aristotelian text and to dignify some works, specially by Terence, that were represented with great success in the Italian palaces. In the Second Dialogue of A. S. Minturno's Poetica Toscana, dedicated to Scenic Poetry, Aristotle’s theory of tragedy is commented on and a theory of comedy is proposed. This study aims to analyse this Dialogue.
