The Virgil Commentary of Aelius Donatus ‘ Black Hole or ‘Éminence Grise‘?
David Daintree
Helen Waddell, in her charming Medieval Latin Lyrics , surely a book which inspired many young person, trained the classics, to become ‘convert’ middle ages, described collection of poems known as Appendix Virgiliana coming ‘down through Middle Ages bobbing at painter's end mighty wash Aeneid’. This same description can, I think, be prettily applied Virgil scholia, humble and often nameless attempts innumerable scholars elucidate master's poems; notes glosses sometimes wise banal, exist, not like other literature an themselves, but solely means towards better understanding Virgil.
