I decided to make contact via the internet with other Virgilians because I am rather isolated at my university where there is no classics department and I have come up against a problem to which so far I have not been able to find the answer. Part of my current project requires that I find evidence for the teaching of Latin verse in grammar schools in the Renaissance and beyond. Virgil and Ovid, then as now, must have been the main models for neo-Latinists as they made their own verse compositions. I have browsed the British Library catalogue and drawn a blank; I can find no manuals of verse composition for the earlier period at all. This material must exist if I knew the right place in which to look. Do you know of any scholars who might be able to help me? - Robin Sowerby ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To leave the Mantovano mailing list at any time, do NOT hit reply.
