Latino 'volgare' nel Declarus di Angelo Senisio (con cenni sulla presenza di Isidoro di Siviglia e di altre fonti tardoantiche nella lessicografia medievale)

Angelus Senisius, a 14th-century Sicilian abbot and author of the Latin glossary known under the title "Declarus", employs expressions such as "qui vulgo dicitur" and similar phrases with limited precision. A word he labels as 'vernacular' may, in fact, be specifically Sicilian, more broadly Romance, or even Latin. In the latter case, the term might belong to medieval Latin, or – as has not been sufficiently clarified until now – to Vulgar Latin in the modern sense of the term (as transmitted through scholarly tradition from Late Antique sources), or simply be a form of 'common' Latin, as opposed to more erudite vocabulary.
