Sobre este artículo
Verlag E. Wasmuth, 1983 8vo (24.5 cm), 135 pp, 22 leaves of plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. The Vatican Virgil may be said to hold pride of place among all the great treasures of the Vatican Library on two counts. For, despite its ruinous state - it comprises one fifth its original leaves - it is the earliest surviving copy of Virgil, as well as a unique relic of classical literary book illustration. It is just those two factors, the late date of the manuscript, vis a vis the pictorial classicism of its miniatures, which have given rise to a scholarly debate which has not yet been resolved: are the miniatures copies or original.
