Abstract

HARTO TRUJILLO, María Luisa. Objectives and Structure of Ancient Latin Grammars. Nova tellus [online]. 2025, vol.43, n.2, pp.123-143.  Epub Sep 26, 2025. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2025.43.2/x001w03a250696.

Ancient Latin grammars constitute a fairly homogeneous set, with which the authors taught their students rudiments of Latin grammar as a gateway to the rest of arts. However, despite of what has been traditionally pointed out, we show in this article that not every author agreed on what concerns to the structure, the length of treaties or those parts included, a fact that, in our opinion, is due to the specific context in which each of them lived and to the purpose of their particular works.

Keywords : Latin Grammar; Syntax; Priscian; Linguistic Historiography.
