1586 Works VIRGIL Aeneid Georgics Mythology SPANISH Commentary Fabricius FOLIO
“Audaces fortuna iuvat- (Fortune favors the bold).”
― Virgil
Virgil is regularly considered one of the greatest Roman poets. His epic poems, ‘Eclogues,’ ‘Georgics,’ and ‘Aeneid’ are some of the most important works of western literature and describe mythology, medicine, astronomy, war and military, rhetoric, agriculture, and more!

In addition to the commentary, Fabricius included countless annotations and additional notes by various contributors such as Pomponio Leto Sabino, Joannes Hartung, Filippo Beroaldo, Claudius Donato, Adriaan Baarland, James of the Cross, Matthew Dabercusius, Marcus Probus, and dozens more.
Roman poetry, collected by a German historian, with Spanish commentary, published in Switzerland, bound with armorial stamp on the boards. A truly unique piece printed in folio!
