Abstract

The article provides a critical edition of chapter 32, περί χρωμάτων, of the Latin-Greek glossary of the so-called Hermeneumata Celtis (ms. Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek suppl. Gr. 43, fol. 37v). The commentary compares each item with the analogous pairs present in the glossaries of the Corpus glossariorum Latinorum. Furthermore, various exegetical questions are addressed, e. g. album / Î»ÎµÏ ÎºÏŒÏ†Î±Î¹Î¿Î½ (ms. Î»ÎµÏ ÎºÎ¿Ï†Î³Î¿Î½), “whitish”; asperum / τραχύ, “white”; viscinum / ἰξιοειδές, “of the colour of mistletoe”, perhaps “red”; veneteum / πελιόν, “livid”; varium / διάπερκον, “dusky” or “spotted”.
