This book deals with a text which has been a mystery to research
concerning its temporal and spatial sphere up to now. Nevertheless
it is of great importance to understand late ancient linguistics
and their continuing influence on the Middle Ages. This comment to
Ars maior by Donat being in the tradition of Servius has been known
to be written by the Christian statesman and author Cassiodor.
Nonetheless the authorship is still not solved because assigning
the text to Cassiodor is less based on transmission, but rather on
the rash theory of a French philologist who edited the text for the
first time in the 17th century. With regard to content the tract is
about the octo partes orationis, namely the eight parts of speech
noun, pronoun, adverb, participle, conjunction, preposition and
interjection. For today's user this text has been difficult to get
hold of because just a part of the existing transmission was the
basis for the first and only edition of 1679 and its reprint of
1848. Therefore a revised edition is placed at the beginning of
this thesis which considers apart from the old version a still
existing manuscript from early Carolingian times as well as a broad
secondary transmission. The second part consists of a comment
regarding an analysis of language and content. Its aim is to answer
the questions concerning time and place of origin, its position in
literary history, its author and its continuing influence.
Consequently this specific version enriches the series of comments
written by Donat transmitted from late ancient times. Additionally
it contributes to modern linguistics regarding the research of
early stages in language theory.
