oa Latin grammar and/ in pedagogy. The two partes grammaticae according to Julian of Toledo

This contribution discusses the “metagrammatical” exposition at the outset of book 2 of Julian of Toledo’s Ars grammatica, which presents a number of interpretive diffi-culties. In the exposition at issue, Julian deals with what he calls the two partes grammaticae, partly on the basis of a passage in Pompeius’ commentary on Donatus. The exposition provides valuable information on the pedagogical context in which Julian’s grammar was conceived and used, and bears further testimony to the growing and eventually predominant authority of Donatus in the late antique and early medieval pedagogy of Latin grammar
