Medieval Latin commentary to Lucan’s poem De bello civili (al. Pharsalia). It is closely related to another commentary, the Commenta Bernensia in Lucanum, with which it is associated in Bern MS 370. The nature of this relationship remains unclear as does the degree to which they might preserve a core of late-antique exegetical material.Aspice marmoreas superantes astra columnasAspice marmoreas superantes astra columnasIn cath cathardaIn cath catharda
Medieval Irish adaptation of the first seven books of the classical Latin poem Pharsalia by Lucan. It rates as one of the longest literary prose texts to survive from medieval Ireland.
Commenta Bernensia in LucanumCommenta Bernensia in LucanumMedieval Latin commentary on Lucan’s poem De bello civili (al. Pharsalia) as preserved in manuscripts now in Bern (MSS 370 and 45). It is closely related to the Adnotationes super Lucanum, with which it is associated in MS 370. It is a matter of some debate to what extent the Commenta and Adnotationes might have been based on late antique material.
