CORNUTUS, LUCIUS ANNAEUS

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 179 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORNUTUS, LUCIUS ANNAEUS , Stoic philosopher, flourished in the reign of Nero. He was a native of Leptis in
Libya
 , but resided for the most part in Rome. He is best known as the teacher and friend of Persius, whose satires he revised for publication after the poet's death, but handed them over to Caesius Bassus to edit, at the
special
  request of the latter. He was banished by Nero (in 66 or 68) for having indirectly disparaged the emperor's projected history of the Romans in heroic verse (Dio
Cassius
  lxii. 29), after which time nothing more is heard of him. He was the author of various rhetorical works in both Greek and Latin (`Priropucai TEXvac, De figuris sententiarum). Another rhetorician, also named
Cornutus
 , who flourished A.D. 200250 (or in the second half of the 2nd century) was the author of a treatise TExv.q Tau IroAcrucou Aoyov (ed. J. Graeven, 189o). A philosophical treatise, Theologiae Graecae compendium (of which the Greek title is uncertain; perhaps, `EA)rlveo) OeoXoyia, or Plepi T'Ylr TWV OeCov 0aews, though the latter may be the title of an abridgment of the former) is still extant. It is a
manual
  of " popular mythology as expounded in the etymological and symbolical interpretations of the Stoics " (Sandys), and although marred by many absurd etymologies, abounds in beautifulthoughts (ed. C. Lang, 1881). Simplicius and
Porphyry
  refer to his commentary on the Categories of Aristotle, whose philosophy he is said to have defended against an opponent
Athenodorus
  in a treatise 'Avr ypao trpor'AOivebwpeg. His Aristotelian studies were probably his most important
work
 . A commentary on Virgil (frequently quoted by Servius) and Scholia to Persius arc also attributed to him; the latter, however, are of much later date, and are assigned by Jahn to the Carolingian period. Excerpts from his treatise De enuntiatione vel orthographia are preserved in Cassiodorus. The so-called Disticha Cornuti (ed. Liebl, Straubing, 1888) belong to the
late
  middle ages.

Martini
 , De L. Annaeo Cornuto (1825) ; O. Jahn, Prolegomena to his edition of Persius; H. von Arnim in Pauly-Wissowa's Realencyclopddie, i. pt. ii. (1894) ; M. Schanz, Geschichte der romischen Litteratur, i. 2 (1901), p. 285; W. Christ, Geschichte der griechischen Litteratur (1898), pp. 702, 755; Teuffel-Schwabe, Hist. of Roman Literature (Eng. trans.), 299, 2.
