The list of that series in Ebert's Allgem. bibl. lex. no. 5906, and in Schweiger's Handbuch d. class. bibl. II, 2, p. 1268, includes the second and third editions only (1682 and 1722), the second being considered the most valuable. The fourth edition appeared in 1726; cf. also J.-C. Brunet, Manuel du libraire et de l'amateur de livres. Paris, 1864, vol. v, p. 1290. The present work includes the first formal dismissal of Virgil’s authorship of the Culex, and other aspects of the ‘Appendix Vergiliana’, as discussed in I. Peirano, Rhetoric of the Roman Fake: Latin Pseudepigrapha in Context. Cambridge, 2012.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_6239881" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
