Consentius

Publius Consentius was a 5th-century Latin grammarian and the author of two treatises.

1. Ars de Duabus Partibus Orationis, Nomine et Verbo, on the noun and the verb
2. Ars de Barbarismis et Metaplasmis, on barbarisms and metaplasm. The latter refers to a third essay, de Structurarum Ratione, on the structure of periods, which, if ever published, is no longer extant.

De Barbarismis Et Metaplasmis In English

Nomine et Verbo was published by J. Sichard at Basel in 1528, and subsequently, in a much more complete form, in the collection of Putschius, who had access to manuscripts which enabled him to supply numerous and large deficiencies.

De Barbarismis was discovered by Cramer in a Regensburg manuscript now at Munich, and was published at Berlin by Buttmann in 1817.

Consentius is believed to have lived at Constantinople in the middle of the fifth century.
