About “Cento Vergilianus de laudibus Christi”

Cento Vergilianus de laudibus Christi is a Latin poem created by Faltonia Betitia Proba after her conversion to Christianity. The poem is a cento, meaning it is made up of verses taken from other works and rearranged into a new composition. Proba used passages from the writings of Virgil to create a new narrative. The poem includes stories from both the Old and New Testaments of the Christian Bible, with a primary focus on the life of Jesus Christ. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
