Grammaire et métalangage dans le Liber glossarum
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: This paper deals with the contribution of the grammaticalia to the LG’s composition, and it tries to propose a typological classification for glosses having a metalinguistic nature. The typological continuum emerging from this classification (even if it results from an initial and, consequently, incomplete amount of research) makes it possible to appreciate the importance attributed to Latin grammar by the LG, and to show its treatment in the glosses’ textual domain (strategies of selection, composition and/ or rewriting). It also reveals the complexity and high level of consciousness of the project and the editorial mechanisms sustaining such a significant opus of the Mediaeval glossographical tradition. In particular, the comparison between the long gloss LI 524 Litterae and its Isidorian model (Isid., etym. I, 3-4) illustrates the degree of independence and the reelaboration and reinterpretation that guide the writer to a reading of the source, by changing the argumentative sequence and reformulating it for a pedagogical goal that is different from that of Isidore of Seville.
