Marginalia in a Rare Edition of Virgil
Abstract
This essay examines the Latin and Catalan marginalia found in a copy of an edition of Virgil’s works published in Barcelona in 1525 (Barcelona, Biblioteca de Catalunya, 1-II-28). The paratextual material examined here is indicative of the different knowledge and Latin proficiency of the two readers who penned annotations in this copy of Virgil’s poems.
Keywords: Virgil, Crown of Aragon, printing, marginalia, sixteenth century.
