  Virgil - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Publius Vergilius Maro (October 15, 70–19 BCE) known in English as Virgil or Vergil, Latin poet, is the author of the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid, this last being an epic poem of twelve books that is called the Roman Empire's national epic.
Virgil was born in the village of Andes (modern Pietole), near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul "this side", i.e., south of the Alps, present northern Italy).
In the Middle Ages "Vergilius" was frequently spelled "Virgilius." There are two explanations commonly given for the alteration in the spelling of Virgil's name.

 ADEVA - Akademische Druck- und Verlagsanstalt Facsimiles: Complete Listing of Facsimile Editions Distributed by OMI
Vergilius Vaticanus is the best preserved example of a book illustrated in the Greco-Roman tradition and constitutes one of the oldest sources of Virgil’s great epic poem Aeneid.
On 76 preserved leaves, Vergilius Vaticanus contains both fragments of Georgics, a didactic poem on agriculture, and of Aeneid and is considered to be one of the most authentic sources of Virgil’s texts.
Although Virgil was also admired by and popular with Christian readers, Vergilius Vaticanus was probably commissioned by a member of a circle of pagan noblemen who wished to preserve the old tradition, a connoisseur whose pleasure in reading great literature was increased by the illustrations provided by the artists.

 Virgil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Publius Vergilius Maro (October 15, 70 BC  September 21, 19 BC), later called Virgilius, and known in English as Virgil or Vergil, was an ancient Roman poet, the author of the Eclogues, the Georgics and the Aeneid, the last being an epic poem of twelve books that became the Roman Empire 's national epic.
Virgil was born in the village of Andes, near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul (Gaul south of the Alps ; present-day northern Italy).
In the 19th century, some German -trained classicists in the United States suggested modification to "Vergil," as it is closer to his original name, and is also the traditional German spelling.

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.
David H. Wright, "Codicological Notes on the Vergilius Romanus", (Studi e Testi 345, Vatican City, 1992) gives very detailed technical descriptions of all aspects of the manuscript, including illustrations.

 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." Surviving medieval collections of manus containing Virgil's works include the Vergilius Augusteus, the Vergilius Vaticanus and the Vergilius Romanus.
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.
Alternatively, some argue that "Vergilius" was altered to "Virgilius" by analogy with the Latin i (wand) due to the magical or prophetic powers attributed to Virgil in the Middle Ages.
