Английская Википедия:Atilius Fortunatianus
Шаблон:Short description Atilius Fortunatianus (flourished in the 4th century A.D.) was a Latin grammarian. He was the author of a treatise on metres, dedicated to one of his pupils, a youth of senatorial rank, who desired to be instructed in the Horatian metres.[1][2] The manual opens with a discussion of the fundamental ideas of metre and the chief rules of prosody, and ends with a detailed analysis of the metres of Horace. The chief authorities used are Caesius Bassus and the Latin adaptation by Juba the grammarian of the Τέχνη of Heliodorus. Fortunatianus being a common name in the African provinces, it is probable that the author was a countryman of Juba, Terentianus Maurus and Victorinus.[3]
Atilius' work on metrical treatise depends on that of Caesius Bassus.[4][2] His treatise on metrics also contains in the beginning some chapters on vowels, consonants and syllabus.[5]
There is an edition of his Ars in H. Keil, Grammatici Latini, vi.; also published by him separately (1885).[3]
Discovery at Bobbio
In 1493 a sensational trove of grammatical and late-Roman poetry was discovered in Bobbio,[6] and Atilius’s work was part of this discovery.[7]
