The Laurenziana Virgil is a mid-fifth-century manuscript containing the most complete surviving text of three of the ancient Roman poet Virgil’s major works: the Eclogues (also called the Bucolics), the Georgics, and the Aeneid. The exact location of its production is unknown; the colophon at the end tells us that the text was corrected in Rome by Turcius Rufius Apronianus Asterius, probably at the end of the fifth or early sixth century. It went through another round of edits in the fifteenth century when it came into the possession of Giulio Pomponio Leto.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
