Reichenau Glossary

Contents

The Reichenau Glossary is a collection of Latin glosses likely compiled in the 8th century in northern France to assist local clergy in understanding certain words or expressions found in the Vulgate Bible.[1] They constitute an important document in Romance linguistics, particularly Gallo-Romance.

Background

Over the centuries Jerome’s translation of the Bible (c. 382–405) became more difficult to read for novice clergy as a result of the various grammatical, lexical, and phonological changes that Latin was experiencing in the course of its evolution into Romance. To facilitate interpretation, scribes would put together glossaries or collected explanations of words or phrases found in the Vulgate.[2] The words used as glosses tended to be those that were destined to survive in Romance,[3] whilst the words that needed glossing generally were not.[4]

What is now known as the Reichenau Glossary was compiled circa the eighth century at the Abbey of Corbie in Picardy. From there it eventually found its way to the Abbey of Reichenau, in southern Germany, where it was found in 1863 by the philologist Adolf Hotzmann.[5]

  10. 10.The [i̯s] ending is of uncertain origin. It may have been taken from *trasjo < Classical Latin transeo 'I cross' (Pope 1934: 362). The resulting *vau̯sjo would then yield vois by regular developments.
  11. 11.Old Spanish had the expected form [βo]. The origin of the later [i̯] is debated. It may either reflect OSp. y 'there' or be the result of contamination from the following pronoun in the phrase vo-yo 'I go' (Lloyd 1987: 355–358).

  35. 35.A prominent phenomenon in spoken Latin, as pointed out by Grandgent (1907: §292). Cf. the form criblare.
  36. 36.A verb based on the noun biastemmia, from Latin blasphemia. The modern form of the verb, bestemmiare, was possibly influenced by bestia 'animal' (Treccani: "bestemmiare").
  37. 37.Towards the thirteen century, the initial vowel of this verb could be either [a] or [ɛ] depending on stress. Consider the following examples: Pr. /ˈamat/ 'he loves' > OFr. /ˈai̯məθ/ > /ˈɛmə/Pr. /aˈmata/ 'beloved' > OFr. /aˈme:ðə/ > /aˈmeə/Subsequently /ɛ/ spread to all conjugations, resulting in modern French /ɛme/ 'beloved' instead of */ame/ (Akire & Rosen 2010: 115).

  58. 58.Posner 1996: 14

  68. 68.Read: praestare.
  69. 69.Word-initial /m/ often nasalizes a following vowel in modern Portuguese (Williams 1962: 62).
  70. 70.Grandgent 1907: 21–22
  71. 71.Elcock 1960: 71
  72. 72.Nasalization came from an /n/ that was added in Middle French under the influence of CL monstrare (TLFi: "montrer").
  73. 73.Levy 1923: 45
  74. 74.The substitution of /p/ for intervocalic /v/ may be a phonoaesthetic change inspired by onomatopoeia for the flapping of a butterfly's wings (TLFi: "papillon").

  82. 82.Read: malus clauus.
  83. 83.Was a homophone for 'key' (=Lat. clavem) in Old Occitan (Levy 1923: 78), a problem that was eventually solved by substituting the diminutive [klaβɛ́l] as the term for 'nail'.
  84. 84.Modern chiodo appears to have been influenced by words like chiudere 'shut'.
  85. 85.Feminine form of the adjective, found spelled as sode. The masculine form *sot is unattested.
  86. 86.Today found only in the expression de sobte.
  87. 87.There is a single attestation of the participle envengud in Old French. The word is otherwise nowhere to be found.
  88. 88.There is a single attestation of the participle envengud in Old French. The word is otherwise nowhere to be found.
  89. 89.The reason for the initial consonant devoicing to /f/ is unclear.
  90. 90.Read: linteolo.
  91. 91.Andersen & Rochet 1979: 267
  92. 92.Read: sortilegus.
  93. 93.Jensen 1986: 3
  94. 94.The expected outcome would have been /ʁɛm/. The modern form appears to have taken its initial vowel from the original diminutive rameau, where the /a/ was unstressed and hence did not change to /ɛ/ (TLFi: "rame").

  108. 108.Back-formation from OFr. plural /veˈrus/ < earlier /veˈruʎts/ (TLFi: "verrou"). The expected outcome of the singular /veˈroʎ/ would have been */vɛʁuj/, cf. fenouil < *fenúclu.
  109. 109.Old Portuguese had the expected form /veˈroʎo/, which later acquired an initial /f/ by analogy with ferro 'iron'. (This happened to the Provençal and Catalan cognates as well.) Similarly, Old Spanish had /βeˈroʒo/, which later acquired the initial consonant of cerrar, meaning 'shut' (Malkiel 1983: 474).
