Summary "Virgilio nel Medio Evo, vol. I" by Domenico Comparetti is a scholarly historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the enduring legacy and influence of the Roman poet Virgil throughout the Middle Ages, detailing the cultural interpretations and transformations of his character. Ignite with rich historical discourse, it promises a deeper understanding of Virgil's impact on European thought across the centuries. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth examination of Virgil's reputation during the Middle Ages, emphasizing the need for a thorough study that has been previously overlooked. Comparetti aims to investigate how Virgil was perceived in the literary tradition leading up to Dante, addressing both the magical legends surrounding him and their integration into popular folklore. The introduction highlights the complexities of Virgil's legacy, noting that his prominence in medieval literature is neither purely literary nor entirely attributed to the supernatural, but woven into a broader cultural and historical narrative that traces back to the very time of Virgil's own life.
