Abstract
This paper deals with the interest in the progymnasmata by Theon in Spain during the sixteenth century. Although this rhetorical work was not printed there either in Greek or in translation, it is possible to gather some information about the subject from the following four sources: the manuscript transmission of the text, the bibliographic information about the lost material, the references to Theon in the printed production about Aphthonius and, finally, the presence of the work by Theon in the inventories of books of the time.
