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.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
