Also included is a discussion of the Latin (grammar and vocabulary) of the commentary and the usual description and evaluation of the manuscripts. [...] The exegesis is thus partly antiquarian and grammatical, partly allegorical.1 The Harleian copy is dated by the catalogue of manuscript books to the fifteenth century.2 The Ambrosian copy was, as will be demonstrated below, a part of the instruction of Bartolinus de Vavassoribus, professor of grammar and rhetoric at Cremona and Bologna in the years 1405-1406. [...] The Third Vatican Mythographer seems to be the ultimate source for the definition of the genius at line 95, for the explanation of the name Tritonia at line 705, and for the interpretation of the Sirens at line 864.13 Our commentator confuses the Sirens with Scylla (see text below) and this may be due to the fact that the Third Vatican Mythographer treats these monsters in the same passage (11.9). [...] The Vatican Mythographers may be consulted in the edition of George Bode (Celle, 1834; rpt., Hildesheim, 1968) fi INTRODUCTION long note on line 252, which presents rationalizations of the story of Jupiter and the Giants, of the role of the eagle, and of the rape of Ganymedes. [...] The Philosophy of William of Conches (4.21) is the definite source for the description of sleep at line 856.14 Etymologies of columba (line 213), Elisium (line 735), and labirintus (line 588) seem to derive from Bernardus Silvestris though the etymology of the last word ("labor intus") is also found in Anselm.15 Sustained allegorizing of the sort found in Bernardus is not present in the main body
