What it is about
A volume combining Virgil and Lucretius.
Context and history
**Warning: two authors in one file**, catalogued under Lucretius. Nineteenth-century school anthologies bundled poets by subject; to cite anything from it you must say which of the two it comes from, and better to go to the complete Lucretius Latin that the catalogue holds.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
