Excerpt from Hosidius Geta's Tragedy Medea: A Vergilian Cento, Latin Text With Metrical Translation The makers of these centos somewhat resemble those more modern countrymen of theirs who quarry anew the stones and materials wherewith to build their cottages from the magnificent old edifices of their forefathers. Like a piece of patchwork these centos have the drawback that the seams are often too visible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The cento-tragedy Medea usually attributed to Hosidius Geta was transmitted in the Codex Salmasianus (now Codex Parisinus 10318). This is a comprehensive study and reevaluation of the text against the background of the ancient cento tradition, also providing a new English translation. After developing a new definition of the ancient conception of the cento in general, Geta’s cento technique and his use of the Vergilian text as well as his relation to the Greek and Roman models for his Medea are examined. It is shown that his play is innovative and sophisticated in both technique and content.
This is the first book to present a comprehensive study of the mythological and secular Virgilian centos.
