Vergilius Vaticanus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vergilius Vaticanus, also known as Vatican Virgil[1] (Vatican, Biblioteca Apostolica, Cod. Vat. lat. 3225), is a Late Antique illuminated manuscript containing fragments of Virgil's Aeneid and Georgics. It was made in Rome in around 400 CE,[2] and is one of the oldest surviving sources for the text of the Aeneid. It is the oldest and one of only three ancient illustrated manuscripts of classical literature.
