AELIUS DONATUS, Roman grammarian and teacher of rhetoric, flourished in the middle of the 4th century A.D. The only fact known regarding his life is that he was the tutor of St Jerome.
On the introduction of printing editions of the little book were multiplied to an enormous extent.
Aelius Donatus is to be distinguished from Tiberius Claudius Donatus, the author of a commentary (Inter pretationes) on the Aeneid (of far less value than that of Servius), who lived about fifty years later.
