Abstract

The article discusses the book "Expositio Notarum" edited by A.C. Dionisotti, which focuses on a manuscript that contains a collection of Latin glosses called Expositio Notarum (EN). The author unravels the mystery of the source of these glosses and concludes that they are a series of glosses on the meaning of Latin terms found in a handbook of Tironian notes, a system of Roman shorthand. The EN is believed to have been compiled in the first decades of the fifth century by a teacher in North Africa. The article praises the book for its historical deduction and textual criticism, and recommends it to scholars and students interested in Latin language, late ancient education, and the tradition of Roman shorthand.
