Vergilius (ISSN 0506-7294) is for all those who are interested in Vergilian studies. The editor welcomes scholarly submissions on all aspects of Vergil without restrictions (see Annual Bibliography for range of topics), as well as poetry and translation inspired by Vergil’s work. Submissions on Vergilian pedagogy and responses to pieces published in Vergilius will also be considered. Prospective contributors should submit manuscripts to gardnehh@mailbox.sc.edu. Manuscripts are to be written in English. Simultaneous submissions are not accepted.

The preferred method of submission is an MS Word attachment with accompanying PDF file in an email to the editor. Suggested maximum length for manuscripts is 10,000 words. All fonts used should be included. A complete submission will include the manuscript with title and a cover letter including author name as it should appear in print, institutional affiliation, and contact email. Figures to be included should be grayscale at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi and submitted as separate image files with the manuscript. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission for images used.

In matters of style, Vergilius follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition in most respects. In a break with past practice, Vergilius is adopting the author-date system of references as set forth in CMS §16th edition, §§15.5–55. Abbreviations for classical authors and titles follow the Oxford Classical Dictionary. Greek text must be typed in a Unicode font.

Each author will receive a pdf offprint of his or her article; no print offprints or print copy of the full issue will be provided. The responsibility for the views expressed rests with the individual author(s).
