Abstract

The manuscript Chisianus VII 240 (K) is an important witness for A. Donatus' Commentum on Terence, unfortunately discovered only after the editorial work of P. Wessner. K was demonstrated to follow different sources in different sections of the Commentary, but, for the section containing the commentary on Andria, it derives from the Carnotensis, a codex deperditus with a good Donatian text.In this paper I pay attention to significant errors that join the Chisianus VII 240 with Λ, a group of manuscripts that come from the Maguntinus, in order to demostrate that the most probable way of explaining these Bindefehler is the assumption of a deep process of contamination, probably due to Λ.
