Charter Foundation Cistercian Abbey of Bordesley

Legg inn av paul bulkley » 09 nov 2005 17:28:02

Dear Nat Taylor:

Thank you for your recommendation of Niermeyer's
Mediae Latinitatis Lexicon.

I think this text probably is very valuable for
charters in latin transcribed by Delisle. I suspect
that latin transcribed by an individual of France
differs a litle from that of an individual in England.

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley

You're welcome about the recommendation. Niermeyer can indeed be very
useful if one wants to understand medieval Latin charters, whether
transcribed by Leopold Delisle or anyone else.

I do not understand your last sentence here. While the nationality of
the editor may dictate some predictable variation in use of various
editorial conventions (e.g.: Are spelling and punctuation regularized,
or not? Are abbreviations silently expanded, or not? etc.), the only
operative distinction is whether the edition is accurate and useful, or
not.

For a very useful, contemporary introduction to the transcription and
study of medieval Latin charters generally, I would recommend Olivier
Guyotjeannin et al., _Diplomatique medievale_ (_L'Atelier du
medieviste_, 2, Brepols, 1993).
