The Appendix Vergiliana is a collection of Latin poems traditionally ascribed as being the juvenilia (work written as a youth) of Virgil (70–19 BC).[1]
Many of the poems in the Appendix were considered works by Virgil in antiquity. However, recent studies suggest that the Appendix contains a diverse collection of minor poems by various authors from the 1st century AD.
Scholars are almost[2] unanimous in considering the works of the Appendix spurious, primarily on grounds of style, metrics, and vocabulary.[3]
