The accessus of Legitur, source for Arnulf of Orléans: a matter of relative chronology
Abstract
The accessus at the beginning of both the Terentian commentary Legitur and the commentary on Lucan by Arnulf of Orléans show common elements that can only be explained as the result of an influence by the former on the latter, which allows us —among other things— to establish the last quarter of the XIIth century as a terminus ante quem for the commentary on Terence. Because Legitur shares numerous passages with Hugutio’s Derivationes, it has been assumed that the commentary depends on the lexicon: the new dating would represent yet another obstacle to this hypothesis and, at the same time, would speak in favor of the existence of a now-lost lexicon that would have circulated in XIIth century Orléans and would have also been a source for Hugutio.
