Open textView author

Introduction

Virgilian Cento is a Christian cento made from Virgilian verse by Proba. It treats creation, biblical history, the life of Christ, and salvation retold through lines and scenes drawn from Virgil. Its importance lies in its inventive demonstration that classical poetic language could be redirected toward Christian narrative.
