Reading Like a Roman: Vergilius Vaticanus and the Puzzle of Ancient Book Culture

How did Virgil’s words survive into the present? And how were they once read, during his own life and the succeeding centuries? Alex Tadel explores Graeco-Roman reading culture through one of its best-preserved and most lavishly-illustrated artefacts.

A lovely essay at the Public Domain Review about the Vergilius Vaticanus, a 5th century CE volume of Virgil’s works currently held by the Vatican, lushly illustrated and still vibrant 1500+ years later.
