114 THE CORPUS, EPINAL, ERFURT AND LEYDEN GLOSSARIES
(D 179) Degeneraverat : misthagch. Comes (like the next item, Devota-
turi) from Gildas (Exc. Brit, 24 ita euim degeneraverat tunc vinea ilia).
(D 189) Devota :
cystig. Perhaps a Bible gloss, from e.g. Exod. 35, 21
obtulerunt mente promptissima atque devota. Perhaps a re-casting of
Abstrusa (51, 33) Devota: absolvens debita etiam nou promissa.
(D 249) Diem obiit : asualt. Since a Jerome Vir. 111. item precedes and
follows, this may be a headless gloss (Obiit) : diem
ob. as. from the same
book (ch. 15 obiit tertio Trajani anno). But Rufinus uses the full phrase
(3, 21 Abilius apud
obiit).
Alexandriam tredecim annis sacerdotio ministrato diem
(D 298) Disceptavero : sciro (hardly Latin sciero). From Gildas 26 siqua
liberius de his...non tam disceptavero quam deflevero.
(D 330) Documenta: tacne.
Documenta : exempla
Is this the Abstrusa item (58, 27) of AflF.,
:
?
(D 331) Despectus : fraecud. Is this the Abstrusa item (55, 27) Despectus:
fastiditus, contemptus?
(D 337) Divinos : uuitgan. Perhaps a Bible gloss, from e.g. Deuteron.
18, 11 nee qui pythones consulat nee divinos.
(D 339) Destitutum : ofgefen. Might be another, from Ezech. 6, 14
desolatam et destitutam.
Echo :
wudumer
(C. G. L. v 357, 19 ; Corp. E 12). From the Vita Antonii
16 (quasi echo ad extrema verba responderet) rather than from the Vulgate
of Sap. 17, 18. For the neighbouring gloss Explosi is assigned to Vit. Ant.
by Leid. (§ 28, 14).
Egesta : ascrepen (C. G. L. v 357, 68 ; Corp. E 98). Apparently from
Deuteron. 23, 13 et egesta humo operies. See above on Corp. A 328 Egesta.
Echinus: piscis vel seel (C. G. L. v 358, 7; Corp. E 15). Perhaps from
Isidore Nat. Rer. 19, 2 echinus ostreaeque in augmento lunae pleniores
reperiri feruntur.
Exentera : ansceat (C. G. L. v 358, 26 ; Corp. E 411). A Bible gloss from
Tobi. 6, 5 exentera hunc piscem.
Erablema :
fothr
(C. G. L. v 358, 27 ; Corp. E 160). Assigned by Leid.
(§ 43, 30) to Donatus (Gram. Lat. iv 379, 12) who mentions, as Greek loan
words, emblema, epigramma, stemma, poema, schema. But clear proof of
Donatus glosses in EE and Corp. is wanting. Donatus probably meant
'carving in relief,' 'embossed work' or the like. Our gloss may
panion Herm. straggler with the following Heptaphyllon (see below).
Electrum :
be a com-
elotr (C. G. L. v 359, 20; Corp. E 116). Possibly part of the
Leid. item (§ 15, 37 Electrum: de auro et argento et acre),
from Ezech. 1, 4, etc. : tale aliquid clectri esse a nobis commissum.
Heptafolium : sinfulle, Heptaphyllon :
gelodwyrt
which comes
(C. G. L. v 359, 26 and
358, 28). In Corp. these items stand together (E 84 and 85) and are pre-
sumably Herm. items ;
as also these three :
'
