This book is the surviving part of the intended two-volume commentary on Virgil's Aeneid by R.G. Austin and C.J. Fordyce. The virtually complete work by Fordyce on Books VII and VIII was edited by his colleagues, originally published by OUP and the University of Glasgow.

Of these two central books of the Aeneid, this remains the most comprehensive commentary in English for the serious student of Virgil. This edition includes the full Latin text with Latin-English vocabulary and notes in English.
