Qualche nota sui prestiti di origine longobarda nel Glossario Bergamasco Medioevale di Antonio Tiraboschi

Antonio Tiraboschi (1838–1883), one of the most prolific scholars living in Bergamo in the second half of the Nineteen century and the author of the Vocabolario dei Dialetti Bergamaschi Antichi e Moderni (1873) [Dictionary of the ancient and modern Bergamo dialects], is a well-known Romance dialectologist. His research interests, however, included other disciplinary areas, such as palaeography and archival sciences, which enabled him to compile a Medieval Bergamasco Glossary [Glossario Bergamasco Medioevale], whose manuscript, yet unpublished, is deposited in the local Biblioteca Civica Angelo Mai. In this contribution to the memory of Maria Vittoria Molinari, we provide a description of the semantic domains to which the lexemes of Langobard origins mentioned in the Glossary belong. Most of these lexemes are attested in other Italian regions, and hence, well-documented in the literature. Accordingly, we will focus on Tiraboschi’s dialectological and linguistic comments, as well as on the linguistic traits displayed by the extracts quoted in order to exemplify each lexical entry
