Description: Glossing the Psalms : The Emergence of the Written Vernaculars in Western Europe from the Seventh to the Twelfth Centuries, Hardcover by Blom, Alderik H., ISBN 311050037X, ISBN-13 9783110500370, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The earliest examples of written vernaculars in Celtic and Germanic languages is in the form of annotations inserted into Latin texts, says Blom, but these have been little studied. He provides close study and comparison of the glossed manuscripts to determine when and why scribes switched from Latin into the vernacular, how the vernacular was used in studying Latin, how verbal glosses interact with other elements on the manuscript page such as to construe marks and punctuation, and how such manuscripts were intended to be read. He takes the Psalter as a case study because its central importance in monastic life means that there are a large number of surviving glossed Psalters, glossaries, and commentaries from Ireland, Anglo-Saxon England, and the Frankish territories.
