Présentation du contenu

Source des données : Parker on the Web

  • Résumé : The Corpus Glossary, CCCC MS 144, written in the early ninth century, is an early witness to the Old English language, and also attests to Latin learning in England at this time. It contains several glossaries; most of the glosses are in Latin, but there are over 2000 in Old English. It is written in a beautiful Anglo-Saxon Hybrid Minuscule, with some typically Insular decoration of initials. The manuscript also has two flyleaves at the end from an Irish manuscript of a treatise on grammar by Priscian (fl. c. 500) written in Gaelic National Hand, probably in the twelfth century.

  • From St Augustine's, Canterbury. On f. 1*r is: Di(st) XI Gra 1 retro (possibly, as Hessels read, retus, for retrorsus, but I think the letter is a rough o). elucidacio quarundam parcium cum A. liber S. Aug. Cant. Not in the old catalogue: no. 1350 is Liber de obstrusis sermonibus parcium 2 fo. omnes D. (blank) G. (blank) but the 2nd folio does not correspond.

Notes

  • Research: These are the contents of this volume, quite briefly indicated. The whole was edited by J. H. Hessels, M.A., in 1890 with the greatest care and completeness: a facsimile accompanies his edition. The text was first printed by T. Wright in his Vocabularies, then by Wulcker in 1884, and again by Professor Sweet, Oldest English Texts 1885.
