Lamberti Hortensii Montfortii enarrationes doctiss[imae] atque utiliss[imae] in xii. libros P. Virgilii Maronis Aeneidos. His accessit: Nascimbaeni Nascimbænii, in priorem P. Virgilii Maronis epopoeiae partem, id est, in sex primos Aeneidos libros, erudita admodum & perelegans explanatio: ubi quæ ad rhetoricam, poeticamq[ue] facultatem, necnon ad philosophiam pertinent, quibus undiq[ue] mirus sese poeta ostendit, maximè in sententiam Aristotelis & Platonis ita declarantur, ut quæ in xii. libris continentur, facilè intellegi possint.

Adiecimus etiam, Christophori Landini Allegorias Platonicas, in xxi. libros Aeneidos Virgilianæ olim conscriptas. [...].
