About This Book

L'essai examine l'ancien monument du mont Pausilippe attribué à Virgile en confrontant traditions, témoignages anciens et analyses archéologiques pour juger de son authenticité. L'auteur décrit l'architecture intérieure en ruine — voûte, briques disposées en losange, et niches évoquant un columbarium — et signale la disparition d'une urne funéraire et d'un distique funéraire autrefois mentionné. Il passe ensuite en revue les pèlerinages et les croyances populaires autour du laurier qui ombrage le lieu, puis termine par un recensement des hommages et des interventions postérieures rendus à la mémoire du poète.
