Note 1223 — Chapter II · QUINTILIAN: DECLAMATIONS AND ORATORS

To this century belongs the “Liber Glossarum,” that portentous medieval collection of glosses, which was perhaps compiled by Adelhard, abbot of Corbie. Three scraps from Q.’s ninth book are quoted in the medieval glossaries to exemplify the use of pugnaciter, caesim and austera, but there is no proof whether these come direct from the text or through some intermediary. See Mountford, Quotations fr. class. authors in medieval glossaries (Cornell publn.), New Yk. and Lond., 1925, pp. 85-86.
