Lucan, Statius, and Juvenal in the Early Centuries
The histories of literature tell us that these three poets were out of favour with scholars during the second and third centuries and the first half of the fourth. Lucan and Statius certainly had a vogue in the first: Suetonius studied Lucan at school ( Vita Lucani ‘Poemata eius etiam praelegi memini’), and Statius ( Theb. XII. 814–5) can say to his book: ‘Iam te magnanimus dignatur noscere Caesar Itala iam studio discit memoratque iuuentus.’
Servivs Avctvs and Donatvs
Probably few scholars would now doubt that at least the bulk of the matter both of Servius' commentary on Virgil (S) and of the additions to it which were first printed by Daniel (D) descends from Donatus. The problem of these additions has been approached by a number of writers from different directions, and different lines of evidence have been found to converge on one conclusion. An important contribution to the discussion has recently been ma…

Cistifero was the reading of A and B, but for want of a satisfactory interpretation of it, or indeed any evidence for it, cistibero (from CA) has been preferred. Hirschfeld, who first brought this forward (in Hermes , 1889, p. 106; cf. Heraeus, Rhein. Mus. , 1899, p. 309), explained it as meaning one of the ‘quinqueuiri cis Tiberim,’ a low official contrasting effectively with the senator of Gellia's dreams. It seems worth while to call attention…
Notes on the Abstrvsa Glossary and the Liber Glossarvm
The Abstrusa glossary consists to a great extent of glosses extracted apparently from the margins of a Virgil MS., which contained not merely explanations of difficult words but many long scholia taken from ancient commentators such as Donatus and Servius. In its original form it was probably much larger than it appears in C.G.L. IV. The process of curtailment is visible in the MSS. we possess. Moreover, the Liber Glossarum and other glossaries b…
