"Non simplo stamine texam": reminiscenze e citazioni virgiliane nell' "Ecbasis captivi"

Literary and critical-textual analysis of the Virgilian echos in Ecbasis cuiusdam captivi per tropologiam, an anonymous allegorical poem of the 10th century forerunner of the medieval beast epic, interwoved of classical, medieval and biblical quotations. Somewhere about forty and mostly drawn from Aeneis, they are especially reminiscences filtered through the poetic – mainly epic - and gnomic tradition of the Late Antiquity and the Medieval Age. Those we can recognize as direct quotations are often exposed to a parodical treatment, tipical of the Vergiliocentones and of the centones in general.
