Abstract

The most significant Latin-Portuguese medieval grammatical treatise, due mainly to its complexity and the great number of folios, remains unpublished. It originates from the Cistercian Monastery of Alcobaça and belongs to the Portuguese National Library, codex Alc. 79. The manuscript presents the (unfinished) incipit Hic incipiunt notabilia que fecit cunctis and is commonly known by the Latin noun Notabilia [noteworthy things]. The Alcobacensis manuscript is a quite elaborate volume, copied perhaps by two hands and it is divided into 31 chapters. The text identifies several main sources, such as Donatus (mid- 4th century), Priscian (late 5th to early 6th century), Alexander of Villa Dei (c.1170-c.1250), Giovanni Balbi de Genova (fl.1286-1298), and two pre-modist or speculative grammarians, Petrus Helias (c.1100-post-1166) and Robert Kilwardby (c.1215-1279), but it might have other unnamed references, such as, hypothetically, the Catalan-Aragonese grammaticae proverbiandi (fifteenth century) and the Italian Notabilia by Giovanni da Soncino (? -c.1363).

Abstract

UIDB/00749/2020 UIDP/00749/2020 UID/HIS/00749/2019 Num conjunto significativo de códices produzidos no mosteiro cisterciense de Sta. Maria de Alcobaça, os monges foram deixando, até ao século xviii, pequenos relatos sobre acontecimentos prodigiosos, relacionados, em particular, com fenómenos naturais que lhes causaram espanto e medo. Também na sua biblioteca encontramos textos relacionados com mirabilia, copiados pelo scriptorium alcobacense, alguns traduzidos para português. A comunidade alcobacense viu-se, desde muito cedo, como uma guardiã de memórias, algumas bastante prodigiosas, vinculadas à história da sua própria fundação, quer relacionadas com o reino de Portugal. In various codices produced in the Cistercian monastery of St. Maria of Alcobaça, up to the eighteenth century, the monks left brief accounts of miraculous events, related in particular to natural phenomena that caused them astonishment and fear. In the monastery library we also find texts related to mirabilia, copied by the Alcobaça scriptorium and translated into Portuguese in some cases. The Alcobaça community saw itself, from very early on, as a guardian of memories, some quite extraordinary, linked to the history of its own foundation, or to the kingdom of Portugal. publishersversion published
