Abstract
The aim of this article is to give an account of those features pertaining to so-called Vulgar Latin which are present in the initial section of the Itinerarium Egeriae. To accomplish this, a brief discussion on the appropriateness of 'vulgar Latin' as a concept is presented, followed by a description of the source, the approximate date of composition, the identity of the author and the transmission of the text. Finally, the linguistic analysis focuses on those features not coincident with the classical norm, which were proper of a Western koine used for communicative rather than stylistic purposes, and which foreshadow the linguistic fragmentation of a Latin-speaking area into different neo-Latin dialects.
