Notae Latinae: An Account of Abbreviation in Latin, Mss; Of the Early Minuscule Period (C. 700-850) (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Notae Latinae: An Account of Abbreviation in Latin, Mss; Of the Early Minuscule Period (C. 700-850)Some apology is due from one who knows next to nothing of mediaeval history, for offering this book to the public. Many years ago, when occupied with an edition of Nonius Marcellus, I learnt the importance of a knowledge of Latin abbreviation for the emendation of Latin texts, and began to make a collection of the symbols used by eighth century scribes. That collection, published in 1908 ('Contractions in Early Latin Minuscule MSS.,' Parker, Oxford), provided a few signposts for textual emendation. But Traube had shewn the necessity for a much larger and more comprehensive account, in order to supply clues to the date and the home of a MS. and to throw light on the history of the writing-centres, and their relations with each other. His 'Nomina Sacra' (Munich, 1907), on the symbols used in majuscule MSS., was the first volume of a projected History of Latin Abbreviation which he did not live to complete. After his death in 1907 no one seemed likely to continue this work, and that golden rule of scientific research became imperative: "If you want a thing done, do it yourself." With help from the Carnegie Research Fund my vacations for the last few years have been spent in amassing the necessary statistics at the libraries of Europe, and now the project has been fairly realized of examining every extant minuscule MS. of the eighth century and a sufficient number of the first half of the ninth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
