Tiberius Claudius Donatus
Tiberius Claudius Donatus was a Roman Latin grammarian of whom a single work is known, the Interpretationes Vergilianae, a commentary to Virgil.[1] He is thought to have flourished in the 430s.[2] His work, rediscovered in 1438, proved popular in the early modern age; 55 editions of this book were printed between 1488 and 1599.[3] However, it is almost certainly the case that Donatus wrote very little if any of this commentary, which other texts confirm to be the commentary on the Aeneid written by Suetonius (c. 70 - 130 A.D.).[4]
