Vergil In The Middle Ages (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781247387345)

"Vergil in the Middle Ages" explores the enduring influence of the Roman poet Virgil on medieval thought, literature, and culture. Domenico Comparetti examines how Virgil's works were interpreted and adapted during the Middle Ages, tracing the evolution of his legacy from antiquity to the medieval period. This study delves into the various ways in which Virgil's poetry, particularly the "Aeneid," shaped medieval perceptions of history, mythology, and the human condition.

Highlighting Virgil's profound impact on medieval intellectual life, this book illuminates the classical roots of medieval culture. It is an invaluable resource for scholars and readers interested in classical literature, medieval studies, and the history of ideas.
