- 1927, H. P. Lovecraft, The Very Old Folk:
  This Virgilian diversion, together with the spectral thoughts incident to All Hallows’ Eve with its Witch-Sabbaths on the hills, produced in me last Monday night a Roman dream of such supernal clearness and vividness, and such titanic adumbrations of hidden horror, that I verily believe I shall some day employ it in fiction.
- 2008, Jan M. Ziolkowski, Michael C. J. Putnam, The Virgilian tradition: the first fifteen hundred years‎, →ISBN, page 439:
  Not a single extant Virgilian manuscript survives from the ninth century, despite the number of ninth-century manuscripts of Virgil's works and commentaries on his works.
