MAFFÆUS, VECIO, a Latin poet, born in Lombardy in 1407, was greatly admired in his time. He wrote epigrams, and a humorous supplement to Virgil, which he called The thirteenth book of the Æneid: this was as humorously translated into English a few years since by Mr Ellis. Maffæus wrote also some prose works. He was chancellor of Rome towards the end of the pontificate of Martin V.; and died in 1478.
