Gary Glazner Could Peripus be Periplus the Latin spelling of the Greek word periplous or sailing by and refer either to Vergil's description of Aeneas' sail past the coast of Sicily near the end of Book 3, or to some real or imagined poem by that name?

RE: VIRGIL: Lost poem
I don't know the poem your referring to. But I thought you might find a poem called the Pervigilium Veneris which is made up of half-lines and lines from Vergil but on a rather more humorous topic interesting. Unfortunately, I cannot remember who it is by. Anyone? Adrian Pay I think you may be confusing the Pervigilium Veneris, an anonymous original poem (perhaps by the late 3d/early 4th c. poet Tiberianus) with works such as the _Medea_ of Hosidius Geta or the biblical cento of Proba, which *are* made up of half-lines and lines from Vergil. None of these are particularly humorous, however, though the centos occasionally produce accidental incongruities that are mildly amusing.

Re: VIRGIL: Lost poem
I am writing to ask if any members of this list-serve can identify for me renaissance paintings or engravings after paintings which depict Virgil reading the Aeneid to the court of Augustus Caesar. This seems to be a theme for 18th- and 19th-century French paintings but I think that I've seen a renaissance image of this scene and cannot now find the image.
