Concordances

Translations

Tripod often lists a translation as the original title + English + Year of publication:   

  • Virgil  Aeneis.  English.  2005  (Translation by Stanley Lombardo) 
  • Virgil  Aeneis.  English.  1983  (Translation by Allen Mandelbaum)      

But several recent translations are listed simply as:

  • Virgil  Aeneis.  English   (Including translations by Sarah Ruden and Frederick Ahl)

  • Virgil  Georigca.  English.  (Translation by Peter Fallon in 2006) 

  • Virgil  Bucolica.  English.   (Translation by Paul Alpers in 1979)    


Searching by the English title of a work may miss some of the translations available.

The most comprehensive search for recent translations is by author alone: virgil author
