- W2325789765 abstract "It is evident, upon even a cursory examination, that the curiously faulty hexameters of Commodian illustrate one stage in the loss of quantitative distinctions which the Latin language suffered in postclassical times. This fact has suggested to many that we may find in them a clue to the change which has made modern European verse so different from the classical measures. I, too, am convinced that the clue is there, and the purpose of this paper is to find it. Scholars are still disagreed about the basis of Commodian's versification, and we must notice several theories that have been advanced. Since Vroom's1 discussion of it, we scarcely need pause to refute W. Meyer's2 grotesque notion that Commodian got his verse from classical antiquity and retained a quantitative or semi-quantitative scheme for about half of its extent, but that the remainder of the line depended merely upon syllable counting, in imitation of Semitic verse. Vroom demolishes this theory in detail, but it would have been sufficient to dismiss Meyer with a single mildy put sentence (6): 'Explicatio ista, quamvis subtilis et arguta, res maxime diversas coniungere nos iubet.' It would be enough, also, to note the absurdity of finding syllable counting in a verse that varies in length from thirteen to seventeen syllables; for the variation occurs chiefly in the parts of the verse for which Meyer invokes this principle. Although false quantities abound in Commodian,3 many have held that he tried to observe quantity, at least in certain parts of the verse. Hanssen4 undertook to show that definite quantitative laws were observed at the ends of the hemistichs; but he operated with numerous emendations, and even so he had to admit many exceptions. Vroom effectually answers him by showing that a large measure of quantitative" @default.
