Abstract

Donatus’ Commentum Terentii, despite its complex textual transmission, offers us an outstanding amount of linguistic data about an almost classical author who, nevertheless, becomes studied by him with the criteria of vetustas and archaismós. We shall analyze here the data allowing us to establish this methodology by the means of which Donatus (and his scholia) have studied the language of this playwright.
