STILO PRAECONINUS, LUCIUS AELIUS, (c. 15474 B.c.)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 922 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STILO PRAECONINUS, LUCIUS AELIUS, (c. 15474 B.c.) , of Lanuvium, the earliest Roman philologist, was a man of distinguished family and belonged to the equestrian order. He was called Stilo (stilus, pen), because he wrote speeches for others, and Praeconinus from his father's profession (praeco, public crier). His aristocratic sympathies were so strong that he voluntarily accompanied Q.
Caecilius
  Metellus Numidicus into
exile
 . At Rome he divided his time between teaching (although not as a professional schoolmaster) and literary
work
 . His most famous pupils were Varro and Cicero, and amongst his friends were Coelius Antipater, the historian, and
Lucilius
 , the satirist, who dedicated their works to him. According to Cicero, who expresses a poor
opinion
  of his
powers
  as an orator, Stilo was a follower of the Stoic school. Only a few fragments of his works remain. He wrote commentaries on the hymns of the Salii, and (probably) on the Twelve Tables; and investigated the genuineness of the Plautine comedies, of which he recognized 25, four more than were allowed by Varro. It is probable that he was the author of a general glossographical
work
 , dealing with literary, historical and antiquarian questions. The rhetorical treatise Ad Herennium has been attributed to him by some
modern
  scholars.

Brutus
 , 205-207, De legibus, ii. 23, 59; Suetonius, De grammaticis, 2; Gellius Hi. 3, 1. 12; Quintilian, Inst. orat. x., 1, 99; monographs by J. van Heusde (1839) and F. Mentz (1888); Mommsen, Hist. of Rome, bk. iv. ch. 12, 13; J. E. Sandys, History of Classical Scholarship (2nd ed., 4906) ; M. Schanz, Geschichte der romischen Literatur (1898), vol. i.; Teuffel, Hist. of Roman Literature (Eng. trans., 1900), p. 148.
