Extractions: V irgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, 70-19 B.C.) remains one of the most influential Roman authors throughout history and his texts have exhibited profound effects upon writers throughout the years. He was recognized even by his own contemporaries as an exemplary poet and a model for others. He employed a vast knowledge of ancient legends and associations throughout his texts resulting in his reputation as a "learned" poet. Unlike other poets of his time, Virgil's freshness and wit never diminishes over his career and he retains a delicate subtlety of expressions throughout his works. H is qualities of tenderness, humanity and deep religious sentiment caused him to be regarded as the herald of Christianity throughout the middle ages. This ensured a wide transmission of his works and caused Dante to choose him as the guide in his master work The Divine Comedy . Later, in the modern era, his works became required reading in scholastic curricula and his texts became vehicles for education in Latin grammar. D uring the last ten years of his life, Virgil worked on

Extractions: The Appendix Vergiliana, a collection of minor poems, was attributed in antiquity to Virgil. The collection includes short epics (Ciris, Culex), elegies (Lydia, Copa), a didactic poem on volcanism (Aetna), and a group of short poems called the Catalepton, or Poems in a Trifling Vein. The poems are written in the erudite, or learned, innovative style that is characteristic of the poets of the Hellenistic Age (4th century to 1st century BC), many revealing the influence of Roman poet Catullus and his school of poets. The authenticity of the collection, however, is disputed by modern scholars. Some of the poems, especially a few of the Catalepton that deal with the life of Virgil, may be youthful works of his. The Aetna is generally dated in the 1st century AD. The Georgics, or Art of Husbandry, a poem in four books on the life of the farmer, was written from 36 to 29 BC. It drew inspiration from the Works and Days of Greek poet Hesiod. The poem exhibits the highest artistic perfection to be found in Latin poetry, and its publication confirmed Virgil's position as the foremost poet of the age. Although ostensibly a treatise on agriculture, the Georgics is in fact a celebration of country life and of Italy. The poem was designed to be universal in scope, as evidenced by the topics of war, peace, death, and resurrection, which respectively conclude each of the four books.

Authors: Cicero Dante Jesus Christ Milton Essays: The Idea of Liberty in Ancient Rome Liberty and Imaginative Literature (E-Texts to be added later) Virgil (70-19 B.C.) is often regarded as the greatest of the Roman poets. His epic poem, the Aeneid , has been of continuing importance to Western literature. Although it was commissioned by the emperor Augustus, the poem is more than early imperial propaganda. It proclaims the divine mission of Aeneas to found Rome and the divine injunction of the Romans to unite the world under a noble emperor such as Augustus. Products of the chaos of the Roman civil war years, Virgil's works show a longing for a more peaceful ordering of society. His two major works, the Eclogues and the Aeneid , emphasize different aspects of this longing.

Roman And Greek Kingdoms The Romans, unlike the Greeks were not gifted in abstract thought. They constructed no original system of philosophy, invented no major literary forms, and made no scientific discoveries. Yet, they excelled in the art of government and empire building, they created a workable world-state and developed skills in administration, law, and practical affairs. In the Punic Wars, the Roman republic defeated the Carthaginians in North Africa and Rome inherited the Primigenia is an example of the new Roman attitude toward art and architecture as Greek artists migrated in vast numbers to the new capital of the world. Roman generals and their quest to establish Rome as the new unchallenged capital of the world justified the expense of replanning the old sanctuary. This accomplishment would bring them personal glory and uplift the majestic status of Roman people. Roman architecture benefited as the city's wealth grew as other leaders contributed to the expansion of new monuments.

Extractions: Contents Index That the empire survived the civil wars that destroyed the republic was largely due to the long life (63 B.C.-14 A.D.) and political skill of Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus, later known as Augustus. In 44 B.C. Octavian, great nephew and adopted son of the murdered dictator, rallied Caesar's veterans and used them first against Marc Antony, the chief leader of the Caesarians, and then in alliance with Antony and Lepidus (the Second Triumvirate), against the republicans. Proscriptions caused the death of some 300 senators and 2000 nobles. Opponents of the triumvirate were defeated, and much property was made available with which to reward the troops.
Extractions: Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, 70-19 BC). Virgil's Æneis Translated into Scottish Verse by the Famous Gawin Douglas ...A new edition, : wherein the many errors of the former are corrected, and the defects supply'd, from an excellent manuscript. To which is added a large glossary ... and to the whole is prefix'd an exact account of the author's life and writings, from the best histories and records. Edinburgh: Andrew Symson and Robert Freebairn, 1710. Gawin Douglas (1474? - 1522), Bishop of Dunkeld and Scots poet noted for The Palice of Honour and King Hart, had the first edition of his translation of the Aeneid printed posthumously in 1553 (see the first edition, also on display). The 1710 edition, with its corrections and scholarly apparatus, was the foundation for the earliest work in Scottish philology. Douglas was a noted poet of the Chaucerian school; although he terms the language of the translation "Scottish," it does not in practice greatly differ from Middle English. The title page of Notre Dame's copy has an ex libris note: "Presented by the Rev. Philip O'Reily P.P. Nullaghoran Diocese of Ardagh to the library of Carlow college, January 1846." In addition, there is a manuscript ex libris note on the binder's leaf: "Will. Straton(?) jun., his Virgill Ann. Dom. 1756(?)." There is also an expunged manuscript ex libris notation on the binder's leaf: "? his book 175?." prev index ... next Related Collections Online Exhibits

Euery buke hauing hys perticular Prologe. London: William Copland, 1553. Gawin Douglas (1474? - 1522), Bishop of Dunkeld and Scottish poet, translated the Aeneid toward the end of his life, possibly as a corrective to the Caxton edition of Virgil in 1490, which Douglas criticizes for four pages; it was first printed in 1553. The text is in black letter type with decorative initials; the title sits within an ornamental border, containing the device of the printer, William Copland. This text has many errors in numbering of leaves. Book XIII is a translation of Mapheus Vegius, a fifteenth-century Italian poet who undertook to continue the work of Virgil. This book has had a number of owners, some famous: Nicolas Atkinson left a manuscript ex libris note on the title page, and the title pages and endpapers have bookplates from Gilbert Burnet, Bishop of Salisbury; Horace Walpole; Ralph Sneyd; C.
