Moritz Wilhelm Constantin Schmidt (1823 1888) published this work
in 1854. It is a collection of the fragmentary Greek texts of
Didymus Chalcenterus (63 BCE 10 CE), a grammarian and compiler who
lived and taught in Alexandria and Rome. Didymus was perhaps the
most prolific writer of antiquity: it is suggested by other ancient
sources that he wrote between 3,500 and 4,000 books. Because he
borrowed heavily from other authors, he is an important source for
the lost work of writers such as Aristophanes and Aristarchus. Most
of Didymus' own work has perished, but what remains is collected
here by Schmidt. The fragments cover topics including lexicography;
grammar and orthography; the style and language of authors such as
Homer, Pindar, and Demosthenes; and ancient historical writing. The
final group of fragments includes a number of texts of which the
attribution to Didymus is uncertain.
