Before anything else I think it is important that we recognise this as
formally a type scene - the recognition of a piece of equipment re-ignites
hatred and battle - the locus classicus for this in Norse and Old English
is the Ingeld- Starkathr episode, this said, it is clearly up to the

Dear Mr. Wiersum,
I do not know to what extent your curiosity has been piqued by this
material, but you may want to look at :
Courcelle, Pierre, 'Les Exégèses Chrétiennes de la Quatrième Églogue,'
Revue desÉtudes Anciennes 59 (1957), 294-319.
The following is a brief discussion
Dear David,
Well Hagen and Thilo have had to go back to UCD, so all I can do is
give you the places where Agrippa or sand is mentioned in Servius from
Montford and Shultz, although you have probably gone through Servius
already. Agrippa = G.2:162;3:29;A.1:292; 6:6128:682, 693; harena =

Have you tried Monticello and the Library of Congress?
I rather suspect that it would still be at Monticello, although he sold
most of his library to Congress.
Can anyone recall the article on Jefferson and Homer which was published in
the last year or two - there might be some leads there - also
Dear Mr. Brubek,
Interestingly enough in the Vita Sylvestri Rome does appear to
Constantine as an old woman waiting to be renewed. I only have the Aldhelm
text here at the moment from De virginitate 'apparuit ei in visione
nocturna quaedam anicula satis decrepita , etiam paene mortua'
I am still digesting the material which has come down the line from
Leofranc et al. on this topic, but I would like to throw in one small
caveat, leaving sympathy and emotion aside, there is a developing idea of
natural law/justice versus custom or the law of individual nations, which
I believe
I think what we see here is the historically observable tendency for the
'leading' genre of a period to subsume roles and even other genres. Epic
had a head start on this since ancient theorists apparently derived most
other genres from the epic - even pastoral.

I think it is worth noting that an Etruscan ancestry apparently had a
certain cachet - Maecenas, as I recall, was supposedly proud of it - I
think the quote is in Horace - and the Claudians were pointedly Sabine.
This is slightly off the topic, but I think we should note that find fairly
frequent
I have looked at this problem while working on the Hermathena article and
in connection with Aldhelm's Vergil text - on which I hope someday to
publish, if I live so long -
I cannot speak to the later period. I have only worked with the circle of
Boniface and Aldhelm and Bede. We do not have a
I was teaching the Aeneid in a summers session on classical literature in
translation, and one of my students asked if Virgil originated his view of
an Underworld that seems to contain a precursor of the Christian Hell, or
if it already existed in Roman culture. Does anyone have an answer?
Dear List,
Are there any Harvard people out there who would very kindly let me know
what the present state of play is with the Harvard Servius? Does anyone
have Charles Murgia's e-mail number and/or David Daintree's?

Dear David et al.
Yesterday, checking early printings of Vergil with commentary in
EPB here at Trinity I spent a couple hours with a 1480 printing of Vergil
plus the Vulgate Servius which was once in the collection of a Claud
Gilbert. The book was in places heaviliy annotated by at least
Dear David,
If you do not have inter-library loan facilities, another route is
to write the publishing institution and ask if they have off-prints for
sale.
While on the subject, everyone - this is something I really ought to know,
but have never quite cracked - is there a equivalent for

I have a funny feeling this is Juvenal, but I'm at home and I don't
