Epigrammata Bobiensia Explained

Epigrammata Bobiensia is a collection of texts including epigrams and poems.[1] The original manuscript was found in the library of Bobbio Abbey in 1493, but was lost. A copy was discovered in the Vatican Library by Augusto Campana in the mid-20th century, and published by Franco Munari. The collection includes 70 epigrams mostly dating from around 400 AD, and 71 poems, one of which is attributed to Sulpicia,[1] though since the late 19th century most (though not all) scholars have considered it a forgery contemporary with the rest of the collection.[2] The most represented author is Junius Naucellius.[3]
