1617 VIRGIL 1ed Appendix Vergiliana Medieval Poems

1617 VIRGIL 1ed Appendix Vergiliana Medieval Poems Catalecta Scaliger Commentary

If I cannot move heaven, I will raise hell.

― Virgil, The Aeneid

While best known for works such as the Aeneid and Georgics, Virgil is thought to have written numerous other lesser-known and shorter poems now referred to as the Appendix Vergiliana. These poems, which are as a whole ascribed to a young Virgil, were most likely written by numerous 1st-century authors. These works include titles such as Culex, Copa, Moretum, and The Catalepton, by which this 1617 printing is named.

Joseph Justus Scaliger collected and edited this edition of Appendix Vergiliana and added his own commentary to the medieval poems.
