MANIL'IUS (Marcus), a Lati-n poet, who appears to 
have been entirely unknown to the writers of antiquity, 
fince it is only from his own work that any conjeftures 
can be formed refpefting his age and country. From this 
it cannot be doubted (unlefs he has purpofely aflumed a 
difguife) that he wrote in the reign of Auguftus, after 
the defeat of Varus; and that he was, if not a native of 
Rome, at leaft a Roman fubjeft. With refpeft to his 
family and condition in life, nothing can be deduced 
from his words. There was a noble family of his name 
in Rome; but, as it was ufual for freedmen to take the 
name of their patrons, no inference can be drawn front 
that circumltance. His poem is entitled Afronomicon, 
treating, in five books, upon the fixed ftars ; a fixth ap¬ 
pears to have related to the planets, but it is loll. It 
unites the ancient fyftem of aftronomy or aftrology with 
the philoftophy of the Stoics. The didaftic matter is 
rendered obfcure by metaphorical and inflated language ; 
but, when not fettered by his fubjeft, he often riftes to 
the true fublime ; and there are paflages in him which 
would not difgrace any poet of the Auguftan age. Some 
of the greateft critics have undertaken to elucidate his 
work. Jofteph Scaliger gave an edition at Paris, 1579 and 
1590, 8vo. and at Leyden, 1600, 410. Bentley’s edition.
