prose

Medieval Latin commentary to Lucan’s poem De bello civili (al. Pharsalia). It is closely related to another commentary, the Commenta Bernensia in Lucanum, with which it is associated in Bern MS 370. The nature of this relationship remains unclear as does the degree to which they might preserve a core of late-antique exegetical material.

Brevis expositio Vergilii Georgicorum

prose

Latin commentary on Virgil’s Georgics, books I and II. The extant texts are comparable to parts of the so-called Scholia Bernensia and are thought to represent an early medieval recension of material that may have originated in late antiquity. The presence of two Old Irish glosses has been taken to speak in favour of Irish involvement in the compilation of this recension. This notion has been reinforced by more intricate arguments based on textual relationships with the Scholia and another Virgilian commentary, which precedes the Expositio in three out of four manuscripts.

Commenta Bernensia in Lucanum

prose

Medieval Latin commentary on Lucan’s poem De bello civili (al. Pharsalia) as preserved in manuscripts now in Bern (MSS 370 and 45). It is closely related to the Adnotationes super Lucanum, with which it is associated in MS 370. It is a matter of some debate to what extent the Commenta and Adnotationes might have been based on late antique material.

Latin commentary on the Gospel of Mark, sometimes attributed to Jerome but written by an unidentified scholar in the early medieval period. It has been dated to the seventh century, which would make it the earliest such commentary to survive, preceding that by Bede in the following century. The text is found in a number of manuscripts with Irish associations. Bischoff even suggested that the author may have been Irish, but this view has been contested or treated as unproven.

Explanationes in Bucolica Vergilii (Philargyrius)

prose

Philargyrius

Philargyrius

(s. v)

Late-antique author of Virgilian commentaries, on the Eclogues and probably the Georgics, that are now preserved in medieval recensions.

Latin commentary on Virgil’s Eclogae, al. Bucolica, attributed to one Iunius Philargyrius and dedicated to Valentinianus, possibly referring to Valentinian III (r. 425-455). Its transmission owes something to Irish scholarly interest of the seventh or eighth century. Two recensions (explanationes or expositiones) of the text are preserved, Explanatio I and the shorter Explanatio II (or Brevis expositio), which include Old Irish glosses, accounts of the life of Virgil and other material not originally part of the commentary. Recension I may have been compiled or at least written down by one Fatosus, if that much can be inferred from its colophon.

In Donati artem maiorem (lost Irish commentary)

prose

The hypothetical Irish commentary on Donatus’ Ars maior which according to Louis Holtz, underlies three extant Hiberno-Latin commentaries produced on the continent in the ninth century: those by Sedulius Scottus and Muiredach and the anonymous Ars Laureshamensis. The suggested scenario is that the work originated at home in Ireland and was brought to the continent by Irish peregrini.

Scholia Bernensia in Vergilii Bucolica et Georgica

prose

Latin commentary on Virgil’s Eclogues (al. Bucolics) and Georgics. It is regarded as a representative of the so-called Servius auctus or Servius Danielis (DS), an expansion and reworking of Servius’ commentaries along with other material incorporated into the text. The extant manuscript versions, different though each of them may be, represent an early medieval recension of material which probably originated in late antiquity and which may have been written by the commentator Philagyrius.
