Thereafter, in book 2, we find numerous short literary problems and the circle's attempts to resolve them, well exemplifying Decembrio's stated intention, noted above, to echo the technique of Aulus Gellius in his work. Nor is this the only occasion on which his targets include writers of the ancient world; his attacks on those he calls "grammatici" include, as we have seen, Donatus, but also Hyginus, Servius, Macrobius, Priscian, and Aulus Gellius. Those entrepreneurs of the word who guided Vergil's text into print were like prospectors panning for textual gold in the riverbed of Servius, Tiberius Donatus, Aulus Gellius, and others whose Vergilian discourse gave the glitter of authenticity to readings which were in most cases better left sunk in the sediment where they were found. |
