GLOSSARY

GLOSSARY

The Glossary is not intended as a complete record of Gower’s Latin vocabulary. It is a list of words which are unclassical in form or usage, or seem to present some difficulty, with select references and occasional explanations. Regular differences of spelling, such aseforaeandcifortiare passed over without notice. The Roman numbers without letters prefixed indicate books of theVox Clamantis, Ep. stands for theEpistolaat the beginning of the volume, C. T. forCronica Tripertita, V. P. forCarmen super multiplici Viciorum Pestilencia, L. S. forTractatus de Lucis Scrutinio, and the other pieces are represented by their opening words. A few references only are given, and common usages are illustrated chiefly from the first book of theVox Clamantis.
