The EPIC CATALOG Tag – Coming Soon

Posted on by blablablaandgabbler

 

To honor the lists that The Narrator, BLA, is so fond of, we have decided to start an “Epic Catalog” tag (or, “Catalogue,” for those of you with accents who can’t read American) that will showcase EPIC “lists” of eclectic topics (very on-brand for us).

We hope said lists will make you interested not only in the many characteristics of Epic Poetry but in our Epic Prose Poem work THE AUTOMATION (complete with other lists!).

Here’s to Buzzfeed and Epic Poetry for making lists a thing. All credit is due to you, not housewives.*

Vatican Digitizes a 1,600-Year-Old Illuminated Manuscript of the ‘Aeneid’

Posted on by blablablaandgabbler

‘In Rome, around the year 400, a scribe and three painters created an illuminated manuscript of Virgil’s Aeneid, illustrating the ancient hero Aeneas’ journey from Troy to Italy. 1,600 years later, the Vatican has digitized the surviving fragments of this manuscript. Known as the Vergilius Vaticanus, it’s one of the world’s oldest versions of the Latin epic poem, and you can browse it for free online.

The digitization project is part of a years-long effort by Digita Vaticana, a nonprofit organization affiliated with the Vatican Library, to convert the library’s manuscripts into digital format. Founded in 1451, the library is home to some 80,000 manuscripts and texts, including drawings and notes by the likes of Michelangelo and Galileo. Digita Vaticana’s goal is to convert these “40 million pages into 45 quadrillion bytes,” according to its website.’
