Conozca el «Liber glossarvm.» Algunas reflexiones sobre su elaboración

Abstract

Two words were chosen, corpus and res, to try and see better to which kind of knowledge the Liber Glossarum provided an access, to the knowledge of antique science or to opinions circulated by commentators from the Early Middle Ages. The soundings which have been made for these two entries show that the writers of the Liber gave up including in their glossary the definitions of corpus and res which circulated in the commentaries on the Ars Donati and which were all in connection with the subject of the sensitive perception. we propose, following the works of G. Barbero, to see a link between this choice and the position of alcuin, upholder of Priscian and Boethius for his own grammatical teaching.
