Notes:
The manuscript is a prose translation of selected passages from Book IV of the Aeneida into French. Book IV, also known as Fate of Queen Dido, recounts the tragic love story between Aeneas and Dido, which is both aided and hindered by various intermediaries, including Juno, Iarbas, Jupiter and Mercury. The affair ultimately ends in heartbreak, with Dido’s suicide, as Aeneas, reminded of his duty, leaves to fulfil his destiny of founding a city in Italy.
