This is the editio princeps of the notes on the Aetna (a poem attributed to Virgil) that are contained in the codex Corsinianus 1839 (Rome, Biblioteca Corsiniana). These notes are from Pomponius Laetus’ school (XV century): many of them are similar or identical to those on the same poem that are transmitted by the codex London, British Library, Sloane 777, which is an autograph by Pomponius. These annotations are part of Pomponius’ exegesis on Virgil, a very importtant chapter of Virgil’s (...) centuries-old exegesis. (shrink)
