Other Aeneids: Rewriting Three Passages of the Aeneid in the Codex Salmasianus (original) (raw)

The paper examines three particular rewritings of the Aeneid featured in the Codex Salmasianus, focusing on poems attributed to Coronatus and two anonymous authors. The analysis situates these texts within their educational and cultural contexts, arguing that they reflect broader trends of late antiquity where Virgil's work was reinterpreted by later poets. The latter half of the paper specifically investigates the authors' strategies in revising Virgilian material, highlighting new formal and thematic elements introduced in these adaptations.
