Grammatical Commentaries from The “School” of Ralph of Beauvais, CA. 1165–1175
This chapter discusses grammatical commentaries from the ‘school’ of Ralph of Beauvais, written around 1165–1175. Ralph of Beauvais was a preeminent authority on grammar and literature who knew and used the work of William of Conches. He authored a commentary on Donatus's Ars minor and a grammatical commentary on Ovid and Lucan known as the Liber Tytan. The latter is quoted in the Promisimus gloss on Priscian. Ralph's surviving writings deal with the development of syntax and the reapplication of grammar to the study of the classical authors.
