An Historical Account of Latin Sounds, Stems, and Flexions

The Latin Language

Originally published in 1921, this book contains the text of the eighth-century Corpus Glossary, one of the oldest extant texts in English, and one of the longest in the Mercian dialect. Lindsay provides critical comparisons with other surviving glossaries at the bottom of each page and indices in both Latin and Anglo-Saxon. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the interaction between Latin and Anglo-Saxon dialects or the history of Latin scholarship in Britain.

An Historical Account of Latin Sounds, Stems and Flexions

Originally published in 1915, this book presents an account of the use of abbreviations in Latin manuscripts of the early Minuscule period (circa 700-850 AD). Lindsay provides statistics on the actual use of symbols as abbreviations and lists of the 'notae' discussed, divided into their usage in sacred, legal or secular manuscripts. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in palaeography or medieval Latin.
