 Donatus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It remained in use throughout the European Middle Ages, and its author's name in the forms donat and donet came to mean "grammar" or any kind of "lesson." The larger work, in three parts, deals with the elements of grammar, the eight parts of speech, and errors and beauties of language.
Donatus has little claim to originality, but no grammar is cited so often, and many commentaries were written on it.

Jerome's tutor during his time in Rome was the grammarian and rhetorician Aelius Donatus, whom Collison (1982: 36) describes as "the most eminent teacher of his age".
Holtz (1981: xi) [6] notes that the Ars Donati was the indirect heir of the language studies of Varro and Pliny, and that the text survived until the Renaissance because it represented access to the science of grammar and to written language.
In addition to Donatus and Priscian, the chief authors of grammatical texts in the late Empire were Victorinus, Diomedes, and Charisius in the fourth century; Martianus Capella, Consentius and Phocas in the fifth; and Cassiodorus in the sixth (Brehaut 1912: 91).

 Federica CICCOLELLA Learning Greek in the Renaissance: the Case of the Greek Donatus
The Greek Donatus was not deemed worthy of a printed edition during the Renaissance.
The failure of this isolated attempt to create a Greek grammar within an exclusively Latin tradition demonstrates how fundamental the interaction between the Eastern and the Western culture was for the shaping of Greek studies in the West.
Greek, being a language of culture reserved for few privileged students, continued to be taught in Latin, whereas the increase in the use of vernacular languages heavily influenced the teaching of Latin from the fourteenth century onwards.

This unprepossessing but significant single leaf, printed on vellum, is a relic of those trials.
The text is part of a Latin grammar written by Donatus, who lived in the middle of the fourth century and was the teacher of St. Jerome.
His grammar was one of the most popular teaching aids during the medieval period, and Gutenberg seems to have found it advantageous to publish many editions of it, not only as practice but also as a source of much needed revenue.
