what's new at virgil.org Monday, 21-Jul-2008 09:48:17 PDT
Virgil.org has moved to a new server. If you find pages that don't work anymore, please send me an email (address below).
The Life of Virgil by Aelius Donatus has now been renumbered in accordance with the now-standard edition by Brugnoli and Stok (1997). A list of characters in the Eclogues is now available.
Please address comments to David Wilson-Okamura at david@virgil.org.
