This work presents
the first edition and study of the grammatical compendium commonly
attributed to Folchino dei Borfoni. Based on two main manuscripts, it is
the first complete modern critical edition of a fourteenth-century
Italo-Latin grammar.
Originally intended for teaching Latin to native Italian speakers in
Cremona during the last quarter of the fourteenth century, the
compendium represents a prime example of medieval linguistic theory on
the threshold of Italian Humanism. The text will interest not only
students of the history of education, grammar, linguistics, and the
Latin language, but also those interested in Romance languages and
historical linguistics due to the many vernacular-Latin translations
used to edify Folchinos rules. DeSantis opens the volume with an
extensive introduction in which she presents her findings on
Folchinos life, previous scholarship, Folchinos other
known works, and manuscript descriptions; she draws on codicological
and textual evidence to prove the authenticity of Folchino as the
author. The following
chapters include a discussion of Folchinos sources, an analysis
of the methodology, terminology, content and structure of the text, and
a study of the language, both Latin and vernacular, used in the
text. An appendix provides
a detailed linguistic description of the northern Italian dialect found
throughout the grammar.
