Vergilius Vaticanus (Codices e Vaticanis Selecti 40; Codices Selecti 71) (Graz, 1980) reproduces the entire book in color; my commentary volume (1984) gives very detailed descriptions.
The new facsimile Vergilius Romanus (Zürich, 1986) has excellent color reproductions of the twenty illuminated folios at actual size but the rest of the manuscript is reproduced in fl and white at 44% actual size from a microfilm that was not quite sharp; the commentary by Carlo Bertelli "et al." has many errors.

 Comprehensive information and links about Virgil
Gregory of Tours read Virgil and some other Latin poets, though he cautions us that "We ought not to relate their lying fables, lest we fall under sentence of eternal death."

Dante made Virgil his guide to Hell and Purgatory in i verses (PP Ecl.4) concerning the birth of a boy, which were re-read to prophesy Jesus' nativity.
