Dividing a Play edit

This line: Donatus invented the system whereby a play is made up of three separate parts: protasis, epitasis, and catastasis. Is contradicted by the content of the catastasis entry, which states that this final term was not a classical one, but was rather coined at a later period by Scaliger. Can anyone find a source for either line to clarify? I haven't been able to.

Ars Grammatica edit

The article on the Ars Grammatica is so short, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to combine it with this one (or vice versa). Either way, it seems that there must be a good deal more information on this work, since it was so incredibly popular for centuries. I don't have the expertise for this, but someone with more knowledge of the subject might find significant ways to expand this article.

Partly Incomplete edit

A partly incomplete commentary on the playwright Terence is compiled from other commentaries, but probably not in its original form.

How is something "partly incomplete"? It's either complete or it isn't.
