This article presents the Christology of the cento De Verbi Incarnatione. Its main aim is to present the way in which the cento’s author makes use of fragments of Virgil’s works to create Christian theology in his poem. Does he only use the letters, or does he also use the context that appears on the pages of the Aeneid, Eclogues, and Georgics? In order to find similarities and differences between De Verbi Incarnatione and Virgil’s poems, the following four fragments that present Biblical Christology have been subject to analysis: Luke 2 : 7, Genesis 3 : 6, John 10 : 30, and John 14 : 6.
