> Dear Manzer, about Virgil's significant and large influence on medieval and renaissance writers you may also consider the entry 'Virgilius, Publius Maro' in the part 'Fortleben' of the 'Medioevo latino. A bibliographical bulletin of European culture from Boethius to Erasmus (VI to XV century)', that is published every year by Sismel-Edizioni del Galluzzo in Florence, Italy; two important monographs about this subject are: D.Comparetti, Virgilio nel Medioevo (I-II), Florence 1941; V.Zabughin, Vergilio nel Rinascimento italiano da Dante a Torquato Tasso (I-II), Bologna 1921. I don't know whether this books have been translated in english or not, but I think so. You have to think that Virgil preserved manuscripts between V and XV century are more than 1000, by far more numerous than all other classical authors mss. in the same period.
