Il volume mira a indagare e definire i rapporti tra il sassone e l'inglese antico, lingue molto vicine sia per la loro comune origine sia per le contingenze storiche, politiche e culturali che ne rafforzarono la contiguità per tutto l'Alto Medioevo, intensificando fenomeni di reciproca interferenza che si riflettono sulle testimonianze delle loro tradizioni letterarie. OLD SAXON; OLD ENGLISH; HIGH MIDDLE AGES; MANUSCRIPTS; VOCABULARY The relationships between Saxon and Old English Language, history, literary evidence This volume seeks to examine and define the relationship between Saxon and Old English, languages that are very close both because of their common origin and because of the historical, political and cultural contingencies that reinforced their contiguity throughout the early Middle Ages, intensifying phenomena of mutual interference reflected in the evidence of their literary traditions.
