A couple more things about the status of "Ille ego" in the sixteenth century:
1. Phaer includes the "Ille ego" lines in his translation of Aen. 1-7.
2. In the editions that I have looked at, these lines are not
distinguished, typographically or otherwise, from the rest of the text. (To
date, I have examined microfilms of the first edition of Phaer's
translation, 1558, and the first edition of the complete Phaer-Twyne
translation, 1584.)
