- Title
"Copiste et compilateur": Transmission and Individuality in Medieval Glossaries.
- Authors
Merrilees, Brian
- Abstract
The article examines the transmission and individual intervention of medieval texts in the compilation of a glossary or dictionary in France. The changing elements of French definitions and equivalents provide a broad history of the vocabulary development and suggest that a compiler's perspective is a factor in these textual changes. The bilingual texts show propensity for individual intervention in the textual content organization and development in the French language and the dictionary.
