Virgilius Maro Grammaticus - was he a grammarian?

该项目的目标是检查希伯诺-拉丁语法学家Virgilius Maro的现存作品在多大程度上应该被理解为晚期古代语法理论的背景和传统中的严肃出版物，作为这一学科的戏仿，作为隐藏的寓言，或者仅仅是胡说八道。虽然后来植根于古代传统的语法学家(如所谓的Donatus Ortigraph us)理所当然地引用了语法学家Virgilius作为专家来源，但现代学者一直对作者约150年来的“实际”和“真实”意图感到困惑。在这个过程中，维吉利厄斯反过来表现为一个愚蠢的开玩笑者，一个博学的滑稽模仿者，甚至是一个(原始卡巴拉主义的)智慧老师。文本本身似乎是足够安全的(有两个现代的批评版本)，但直到今天还缺乏评论。也没有一个连贯的专题研究来呈现这部作品的核心方面；到目前为止，唯一的贡献是具体的，部分是有倾向性的。为了给出有充分根据的答案以上概述的两个现存的作品，所谓的书信和书信，将检查有关形式和内容的古代语法参考：首先，一个彻底的分析八书信，其中涵盖了传统的八个词类(名词，代词，动词，形容词，分词，连词，介词和感叹词)，将回答这个问题，Virgilius是如何熟悉古代语法及其问题，在哪里他可能包括增补，批评，甚至恶搞。在此之后，相当随笔的情节，其中一部分是相当模糊的，将在一个主要与内容相关的评论中阐明，以解决是否有严肃的语法(或其他？)的问题。隐藏在往往是虚构的和/或荒谬的细节后面的问题。结果将在Virgilius Maro的第一次科学总体介绍中总结，重点放在语法史上。

The objective of the project is to examine to what extent the extant works of the Hiberno-Latin grammarian Virgilius Maro, who wrote c. 650 CE, should be understood as serious publications in the context and tradition of late antique grammatical theory, as parodies of this discipline, as hidden allegories, or as mere nonsense. While subsequent grammarians, rooted in ancient tradition, (such as the so-called Donatus Ortigraphus) as a matter of course quote the grammarian Virgilius as an expert source, modern scholars have puzzled over the "actual" and "true" intentions of the author for c. 150 years. In this process Virgilius in turn appears as a silly jokester, an erudite parodist, or even as a (proto-Kabbalistic) teacher of wisdom. The text itself seems to be sufficiently secure (there are two modern critical editions), but to this day a commentary is lacking. Neither is there a coherent monographic study which presents the central aspects of the work; so far, the only contributions are specific and, in part, tendentious. In order to give well-grounded answers to the questions outlined above the two extant works, the so-called Epitomae and Epistolae, will be examined for references to ancient grammar regarding form and content: first, a thorough analysis of the eight Epistolae, which cover the traditional eight parts of speech (noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, participle, conjunction, preposition, and interjection), will answer the question how familiar Virgilius was with ancient grammar and its problems, and where he possibly included additions, criticism or even parody. Following this, the rather essayistic Epitomae, which are in part considerably more obscure, will be elucidated in a mainly content-related commentary so as to resolve the question whether there are serious grammatical (or other?) issues hidden behind the often, as it seems, fictitious and/or nonsensical details. The results will be summarized in the first scientific overall presentation of Virgilius Maro, focusing on the history of grammar.
