Abstract

The bestselling dictionary of the late Middle Ages was named after a morphological procedure, “derivations.” It was written by Hugutio (also known as Uguccione) from Pisa, bishop of Ferrara, probably in the 1160s, and its title refers to one of the procedures used in order to explain the origin and meaning of words. In addition, etymological speculation, with the method inherited from Latin Antiquity—from Varro via Isidore of Seville—also has a prominent place in this work, which enjoyed great success. In an epoch when the Romance languages, including Italian, had long ousted Latin in everyday native spoken usage, Hugutio’s book was extensively used and cited as a dictionary, in order to write not only in Latin—still the main language of culture in Western Europe for centuries to come—but also in the vernaculars in the then-incipient Romance vulgar literature; for example, by no less a figure than Dante Alighieri. To us, Hugutio’s Derivations (Derivationes) is valuable as a source both of knowledge of Medieval culture and thought and of information on the Italian lexicon, at a time when written documentation in Italian was still very scarce.

4. Etymology in the Most Important Reference Encyclopedia of Late Antiquity: Isidore of Seville’s Etymologiae

Abstract

On the eve of the Middle Ages, slightly more than one century after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, in Spain under Visigothic rule Latin was still the language of culture and everyday spoken communication. In Seville, the bishop Isidore wrote what was to become the reference encyclopedia of the Middle Ages, the Etymologiae, whose very title indicates that speculation about etymology is key to the treatment of all disciplines, from mathematics to theology. This enormously influential treatise established a canon of disciplines and authors that was to last for almost a millennium. As an etymologist, by the standards of modern research Isidore does not count as a full-fledged colleague: he pursues the method adopted in Latin antiquity in Varro, but with less insight than Varro into the mechanisms of language per se. Nonetheless, the Etymologiae are a fascinating cultural object, with speculation on language one of its prime ingredients.
