Virgile travesti is a parody of the Aeneid written by Paul Scarron in 1648. It was inspired by Giovanni Battista Lalli's L'Eneide travestita (The Aeneid Disguised, 1633).[1] This early example of French burlesque literature[2] is notable for introducing the word travesty[3] into English.[4] Produced in eight volumes, the last book in the work was not published until 1659.[5]
