Statements
A Virgil, one thousand four hundred Years old, (as they say) with Limnings of no extraordinary Performance.[...] It is written in Capitals on Vellom. The four disputed Lines which often stand at the beginning of the AEneid [Ille Ego & c.] are not in this Copy. There are Arguments in Verse before each Book, a Circumstance which seems to me to savour of a later Age. (English)
