| Bibliography | ||
| Note | The Aeneid is preceded by the four lines beginning: Ille ergo, qui quondam gracili modulatus avena (Walther 8699), which are probably by Virgil himself. Each book except the first is preceded by a ten- or eleven-line verse summary. These are the verses attributed to Ovid, printed by Bahrens, 163-168, except that here each summary from Book IV onwards is preceded by an extra line which usually introduces the Book's number. |
