Brevis expositio Vergilii Georgicorum
- Latin
- prose
In three out of four manuscripts, the text follows a commentary on Virgil’s Eclogues attributed to Philargyrius (Explanationes in Bucolica Vergilii). Two Old Irish glosses are found in these copies, while the latter features a much larger set of such glosses.
- Latin
Glossary on the works of Virgil (Eclogues, Georgics and most of the Aneid), preserved in one manuscript compiled under the direction of Martin of Laon (Laon MS 468). Many of the glosses are parallelled by a group of related Servian commentaries.
Two Old Irish glosses to the Brevis expositio Vergilii Georgicorum, a commentary on Virgil’s Georgics, as it stands in a Florence MS (Plutarch 45.14). The glosses in this manuscript reflect a later stage of transmission in which they are found integrated within the main text and were presumably copied by a scribe who had no knowledge of Irish.
