Peignot is a scholarly publication written in the early 19th century. This work investigates the historical and archaeological significance of the purported tomb of the ancient poet Virgil, examining various scholarly opinions and historical accounts related to its origins. The text delves into the legends surrounding the site and the various honors that have been paid to Virgil's memory over the centuries. The book presents a detailed exploration of the existing ruins at the mount Pausilipe, speculating on their authenticity as Virgil's final resting place. Peignot discusses how ancient sources, alongside modern scholarly interpretations, provide contrasting views about the tomb's location and significance. He recounts the various pilgrimages undertaken by notable figures, the symbolic importance of the laurel trees that once adorned the tomb, and the cultural resonance that Virgil's legacy holds, both in antiquity and in modern appreciation. The opuscule concludes with reflections on how the interest in Virgil has been maintained through centuries of homage, despite the physical degradation of the tomb itself.
