Maffeo Vegio (1407-1458) was the outstanding Latin poet of the
first half of the fifteenth century. This volume includes Book XIII
of Vergil's "Aeneid," Vegio's famous continuation of the Roman
epic, which was extremely popular in the later Renaissance, printed
many times and translated into every major European language (and
even into Scottish). It also contains three other epic works:
"Astyanax," based on an episode in the "Iliad"; "The Golden Fleece"
("Vellus Aureum"); and "Antonias," a short epic based on the life
of Saint Anthony of Egypt. Antonias is the first Christian epic of
the Renaissance, a precursor of Milton's "Paradise Lost." This
volume contains the first modern editions of the Latin text of
"Antonias" and "Astyanax."
