Interesting post!
In the Burgerbibliothek in Bern,
in the Vatican and in the Bibliotheque
Nationale (Paris, now called Bibli de
France)--I have seen Virgil codices
bearing musical notation, suggesting
the text was sung at one point. --??
The transition from scroll to
codex makes me think that the early
commentaries (esp. Servius) became
_possible_ once the format changed--
to improve cross-referencing?
