Publisher's Synopsis

""Vergil in the Middle Ages"" is a book written by Domenico Comparetti that explores the influence of the ancient Roman poet Virgil (also known as Vergil) on medieval literature and culture. The book delves into the ways in which medieval writers and thinkers interpreted and adapted Virgil's works, particularly his epic poem ""The Aeneid."" Comparetti examines how Virgil's themes of heroism, love, and destiny resonated with medieval audiences and how his ideas were incorporated into the literature, art, and philosophy of the Middle Ages. The book also explores the historical context in which Virgil's works were received during the medieval period, including the rise of Christianity and the emergence of vernacular languages. ""Vergil in the Middle Ages"" is a comprehensive study of the enduring legacy of one of the greatest poets of the ancient world and his impact on medieval culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
