Hisdosus (fl c. 1100), also known as Hisdosus Scholasticus, was a writer and scholar.[1] Nothing is known about his life. A Latin commentary by him on Calcidius' translation of Plato's Timaeus survives in manuscript.[2] The commentary is probably most famous for containing a paraphrase of Heraclitus' comparison of the soul to a spider and the body to the spider's web (DK 22B 67a).[3]
