And I thought translating the exploits of Quintus was difficult...

I'm taking a course on Medieval Manuscipts and I just had to share this little exercept from the Vergilius Vaticanus:



Amazingly after staring at the text for a few minutes I was eventually able to tease out a few words here and there (I spy a "cyclopes" in the first line!) and after a few hours and many tears later, I managed to transcribe and partially translate this sucker.

I just want to take this moment to thank the editors of our textbook for providing spacing and punctuation...
