PART III 95 seeming new items. The item Attigerit: inurit (Ep. 1 C 25 = C. G. L. V 388, 47 = Corp. A 866) is the result of a transcriber's error who wrote in a separate line (as in Ep.) the last words of a long item Basiliscus: serpens quae flatu suo universa quae attigerit inurit (Ep. 6 C 31 = C. G. L. v 348, 21 = Corp. B 31). It is an unintentional split. Unintentional re-casting is merely textual corruption; and before we affirm this or that gloss to be a new item we must make sure that it is not merely disguised. Loewe (Prodromus, p. 359) seems to claim for Early Latin (Erf.- 270, 3) Aurorans: illuminans colore rutilo. But it has been that Aurorans is a mistake for Aurora and that we suggested have here a Virgil gloss, on Aen. 3, 589 (or 4, 7) Humentemque Aurora polo dimoverat umbram. The annotator had explained how the sunrise had dispelled the mist, it 'illuminating with "flaslies of colour.' Sequestra: sepone (Erf.- 331, 41) is probably in reality Sequestra: seponente, a Virgil gloss from Aen. 11, 133 pace sequestra, where the armies after the clash of conflict were separated by a truce. The glossary-transcribers' habit of retaining both the miswritten and the corrected form of a gloss has been described elsewhere (Journ. Phil, xxxiv 271) and has already been illustrated by the four variants Phoebus, Poebus, Ponebus, Pani- bus (cf. Corp. S 225 and 227). All these splits and re-castings, intentional and unintentional, make glosses very productive of other : glosses and an investigator who traces fifty per cent, of a glossary's items to their source may be sure that he has really accounted for seventy-five per cent. And since our lists of glosses from authors took regard only of batches and ignored the many stragglers which had wandered from each batch, we may be allowed to doubt whether there is much room left for new sources, still to be investigated, at least of any large enough to supply batches in the chaptere of EE i. To facilitate the finding of new sources a list of notable 'ades- pota' in EE i is added. Some of them, it should be premised, may be merely what are called 'headless glosses,' the result usually of a double explanation in the margin of a text. Suppose, for example, that the opening line of the Aeneid, Arma virumque cano, etc., had two marginal annotations, arma being explained by the single word tela and cano having the double explanation
96 THE CORPUS, EPINAL, ERFURT AND LEYDEN GLOSSARIES canto, dico. An excerptor might take for his 'glossae collectae' the two items Arma: tela and Canto: dico. The second would be a 'headless gloss,' since its real form is (Cano): canto, dico. Sometimes the transcriber is the executioner. Thus Dicator: qui verbis bene jocatur (Corp. D 311), compared with Dicax: qui bene verbis jocatur (Erf ^ 286, 48), suggests (Dicax): dicator, qui verbis bene jocatur (cf Erf- 305, 17 ; Corp. I 477). Cachinnatio : alius risus (Ep. 7 E 33) Cardinarius : ; primarius (Ep. 8 A 34) Cistula: ; sporta (Ep. 6 E : 18); Compe(n)diatim angustiatim (Ep. 7 E 25) ; Concinnis (for -us?) : subtilis (Ep. 8 E 14). Digitalium musculorum (v.l. munusc-) : fingir doccuna (Erf.^ 357, 2). Follescit : tumescit (Ep. 9 C 28). Gesti(s)tis : gavisi estis (Ep. 10 E 22). Hiulcas leonis fauces (Ep. 11 D 33). Livida toxica: tha uuannan aetrinan (Ep. 13 C 8; a phrase of Sedu-; lius) ; Lustrato stipite : circuito ligno (Ep. 13 C 10). Optionarius: qui militum vicibus praeest (Ep. 16 E 15); Ordinatissimam : eta gisettan (Ep. 17 A 7). E34). 'Palantus': hamo interfectus (Ep. 18 E 13); Pipant: resonant (Ep. 19 Scammatum locus ubi athletae luctantur (Ep. 23 A 10) ; Synnadicum marmor : orientale (Ep. 24 C 24) ; Spargana : infantia vel initia (Ep. 24 C 25). Triundali gurgite : quasi triplici unda (Ep. 27 A 22). A much larger number will be found in Erf^, presumably items of the second of the two glossaries whose combination pro- duced ErfI Since Erf^ would not transcribe the glossary in full, but merely extracts, the task of reconstructing the lost collection and discovering all its sources would be as impossible the sources of Abolita or as, let us say, the task of discovering Abstrusa by means of the excerpt items in Erfl An unmistak- able item here and there may proclaim its own source, but does not help us much so long as we are ignorant of the method of the lost glossary's compilation. That Corpus has some private property in glosses we have already learnt from its Gildas items. They are peculiar to Corpus. But a large part of the Corpus list will be from the material common to Erf- (and Aff. and EE ii).
