Professor Lendinara here offers a detailed analysis of glosses, their origin, aims and use, within the framework of Anglo-Saxon schools, monasteries and society. Four of the pieces have been specially translated from Italian, and she opens the volume with a major new introduction to the field. The work includes the publication of glossaries, and explores the transmission and relationship of different texts, into the first centuries after the Norman Conquest.

Ashgate Critical Essays on Early English Lexicographers
Author: Christine Franzen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351870343
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 787
Book Description
Anglo-Saxon lexicography studies Latin texts and words. The earliest English lexicographers are largely unidentifiable students, teachers, scholars and missionaries. Materials brought from abroad by early teachers were augmented by their teachings and passed on by their students. Lexicographical material deriving from the early Canterbury school remains traceable in glossaries throughout this period, but new material was constantly added. Aldhelm and Ælfric Bata, among others, wrote popular, much studied hermeneutic texts using rare, exotic words, often derived from glossaries, which then contributed to other glossaries. Ælfric of Eynsham is a rare identifiable early English lexicographer, unusual in his lack of interest in hermeneutic vocabulary. The focus is largely on context and the process of creation and intended use of glosses and glossaries. Several articles examine intellectual centres where scholars and texts came together, for example, Theodore and Hadrian in Canterbury; Aldhelm in Malmesbury; Dunstan at Christ Church, Canterbury; Æthelwold in Winchester; King Æthelstan's court; Abingdon; Glastonbury; and Worcester.

A Catalogue of Manuscripts Known to Contain Old English Dry-Point Glosses
Author: Dieter Studer-Joho
Publisher: Narr Francke Attempto Verlag
ISBN: 3772000304
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
While quill and ink were the writing implements of choice in the Anglo-Saxon scriptorium, other colouring and non-colouring writing implements were in active use, too. The stylus, among them, was used on an everyday basis both for taking notes in wax tablets and for several vital steps in the creation of manuscripts. Occasionally, the stylus or perhaps even small knives were used for writing short notes that were scratched in the parchment surface without ink. One particular type of such notes encountered in manuscripts are dry-point glosses, i.e. short explanatory remarks that provide a translation or a clue for a lexical or syntactic difficulty of the Latin text. The present study provides a comprehensive overview of the known corpus of dry-point glosses in Old English by cataloguing the 34 manuscripts that are currently known to contain such glosses. A first general descriptive analysis of the corpus of Old English dry-point glosses is provided and their difficult visual appearance is discussed with respect to the theoretical and practical implications for their future study.
