Abstract
- The article explores the possible common source of Saint Aldhelm's treatise "De metris" and the anonymous text "Caesurae uersuum" (Cu) which involves the classification of Latin hexameters. Topics discussed include the linking of Cu to a metrical treatise of the same title by Saint Boniface, the lines of the Karlsruhe codex covered by Cu, and the distinction between the types of verse caesura observed in Cu such as the disjointed line and the priapeius line.
