Topic: Maurus Servius Honoratus


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Maurus Servius Honoratus - LoveToKnow Watches
MAURUS SERVIUS HONORATUS (or Marius), Roman grammarian and commentator on Virgil, flourished at the end of the 4th century A.D. He is one of the interlocutors in the Saturnalia of Macrobius, and allusions in that work and a letter from Symmachus to Servius show that he was a pagan.
In the grammatical interpretation of his author's language, Servius does not rise above the stiff and overwrought subtleties of his time; while his etymologies, as is natural, violate every law of sound and sense.
The Essai sur Servius by E. Thomas (1880) is an elaborate and valuable examination of all matters connected with Servius; many points are treated also by O. Ribbeck in his Prolegomena to Virgil; see also a review of Thilo's edition by H. Nettleship in Journal of Philology, x.

The Roman grammarian, Servius Honoratus (born c.370) is chiefly known for his commentary on Virgil, but his other works include treatises on prosody and metre and a commentary on the Ars Donati.
Maurus wrote several educational texts as well, and was the first to introduce Priscian into German schools (Sandys 1921: I, 483).
The principal grammatical authorities followed in the Latin West up to the eleventh century were the manuals of Priscian and Donatus with Servius on Donatus, and the grammatical treatises of Cassiodorus, Isidore and Bede, as well as the commentary on Donatus by Remigius of Auxerre (d.908) (Sandys 1921: I, 665).

He is erroneously called Servius by some writers.
[silanus.] SE'RVIUS, a common Roman praenomen, also occurs as the gentile name of a few persons, though even in the case of these persons the gentile name may have been dropped, and Servius be simply a praenomen.
We possess also the following treatises which bear the name of Servius Maurus Honoratus.

The former appears under its best form in the " Anaiecta Grammatica'* of Endlicher, who has also printed from a Bobbio MS., now at Vienna, a fragment of Sergius, de A rte Grammatica.
By some scholars this Sergius is supposed to be the same person with Servius Maurus Honoratus, the celebrated commentator on Virgil ; but there is still extant (pp.
Putsch.) a commentary by Servius upon the second edition of Donatus altogether different from that which bears the name of Sergius.

Romulus, whose name is said to have inspired Rome's name, was the first of seven Kings of Rome, the last of whom, Tarquin the Proud, was deposed in 510 BC or 509 BC when the Roman Republic was established.
Tarquinius Superbus The Roman Republic was established around 509 BC, according to later writers such as Titus Livius (Livy), when the king was driven out, and a system based on annually elected magistrates was established in the monarchy's place.
Typical of this point of view is a quote from Maurus Servius Honoratus, Commentary on the Aeneid of Vergil (On Book 8 Line 727): :"(Rhenus) fluvius Galliae, qui Germanos a Gallia dividit" :"(The Rhine is a) river of Gaul, which divides the Germans from Gaul.

 The Roman View
In each case, nowhere on this topic it was claimed Romans ever had an agreement on what exactly the list of hills should include.
For example Maurus Servius Honoratus's commentary on the Aeneid gives the most puzzling listing, with Ianiculum included, but the Capitoline omitted.
Considering the fact the Capitoline hill was tmost important to the Romans, it might have been slipped off the list as self-evident.

Lucan's words drip with false modesty as he asks how far his own youthful works fall short of Virgil's Culex.
After Suetonius, the Culex was not mentioned by name until the fourth century when Aelius Donatus and Maurus Servius Honoratus, writers of two of the Vitae Vergilianae, "lives of Virgil," listed other works which were also supposedly Virgil's.
Questions such as the reliance or non-reliance of Donatus on Suetonius and what Virgil wanted his executors to do with the minor poems (if one takes the view that they were, in fact, his) are beyond the scope of this brief outline of the poem's history (see also Comparetti 138-42).

 Where are the Columns of Hercules? - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
We find another important mention about the Columns of Hercules with the Roman grammarian Servius Maurus Honoratus (4th century a.d.), a lettered man with extraordinary knowledge of history and mythology.
In the commentaries which he has written about Virgil’s Enaeid, he tells us the following: “according to what we read, the Columns of Hercules exist both in the Pontos region, and also in Hispania” (Virgilii Maronis opera).
As we see here, Servius has added here “in Hispania also”, because this fiction had become consecrated, during many past centuries, on the Greek geographical documents, although the Romans, who had conquered Iberia and North Africa, had not found there any vestige, any tradition, about the Columns of Hercules
