Editio Nova, Auctor et Emendatior Cui accessit Index accuratissimus, omnibus Numeris & Concordantiis absolutus. Juxta Editionem novissimam Parisiensem A. 1722. Hagæ-Comitum: Apud Frates Vaillant & N. Prevost, 1723.

*8, **4, A-Z, Aa-Rr8, a-o8; portada, XXIV, 637 pp., 1 ff. em br., 223 pp., 1 mapa, 14 gravs.: il.; 210 mm.

Edition that brings together the main works of Virgil, one of the greatest writers of Latin literature, including the Aeneid , an epic in twelve books that narrates the journey of Aeneas and the mythical foundation of Rome; the Georgics , a didactic poem about agriculture and man's relationship with nature; and the Bucolics , a set of ten eclogues that explore pastoral life with mythological and political influences.

The work is annotated by Carolus Ruæus (Charles de La Rue, 1643–1725), a Jesuit and philologist who was noted for his commentaries on Virgil, integrating the humanist and Jesuit tradition into the study of the classics. His edition of Virgil's Operas , including the present one, presents explanatory notes, philological analyses, and textual variants, facilitating the understanding of the meter, style, and moral meaning of the texts. As a professor at the Collège de Clermont, his work was widely used in the teaching of Latin literature in the 17th and 18th centuries. Rare.
