- Summary
- "A fascinating and almost fantastic chapter in the history of Virgil's reception concerns the 'Thirteenth Book of the Aeneid' written at Pavia in 1428 by Maphaeus Vegius, then a mere lad of twenty-one. For a century-and-a-half following the invention of printing, the book was continually placed alongside the Aeneid as though part of it, but much more rarely thereafter. In the 'new book' the Rutulians surrender to Aeneas, Latinus returns Turnus' body to his father who performs the burial, Aeneas marries Lavinia and founds a city named after her, eventually succeeds to Latinus' kingdom, and in the end receives from Venus the gift of apotheosis among the stars." "This definitive edition, originally published in 1930 by Stanford University Press, includes a substantial introduction, Latin text faced by the English translation of Thomas Twyne (1584), Sebastian Brant's six delightful illustrative woodcuts (1502), and Gavin Douglas' Scots translation (first published in 1553). There is also a bibliography and a succinct commentary mainly devoted to Vegius' echoes of Virgil's own poetry."--Jacket
