From the twelfth century onwards, notable advances in the theoretical development occur in independent treatises on syntax, which on their side are intimately linked with medieval commentaries on the last two books, the so-called Priscian Minor, of the Institutiones Grammaticae I-XVIII, where Priscian deals with syntax. A number of the independent treatises on syntax are now available. But of the many commentaries on Priscian Minor known, only a few have been edited, so let me start by editing an interesting 12th c. gloss on Priscian Minor, called the Glosa Victorina. Priscian Minor itself begins with introducing the notion of what is a perfect sentence, what is a well-formed utterance and which parts of speech are indispensable or the most important, stating their order of importance : noun, verb, participle, pronoun, and the indeclinable word classes. As the argumentation unfolds, comparisons between letters, syllables and words are introduced providing a continuity and refinement on what was taught earlier in the so-called Priscian Maior, and how this concerns grammar on the level of syntax. Very quickly, this leads to an interdisciplinary discussion of what constitutes a perfect sentence (according to the grammarians and the dialecticians), involving the commentators in redefinitions of the principal parts of speech and explaining their distinguishing features. In this process, notions of substance, of person, of deixis, of reference – signification, and many other important grammatical issues are discussed. So in principle, the beginning of any commentary on Priscian Minor provides its author with scope for developing his particular doctrines and ideas of prime importance in linguistics. Here the Glosa Victorina deserves a closer look, because it provides us with insights into discussions normally only hinted at by Abelard, or a use of terminology which then becomes refined and partially rejected by William of Conches and Petrus Helias.

Summary: Chassé d'Afrique par les invasions vandales et installé à Constantinople au début du 6e s., Priscien a engagé à la fin de l'Antiquité une synthèse et une refonte de la grammaire antique en faisant confluer ses principaux courants, la tradition grammaticale romaine et les apports grecs issus de la grammaire alexandrine, auxquels il a intégré des recherches menées dans d'autres domaines de l'analyse de la parole, en rhétorique et en philosophie. Cet effort d'innovation mené dans la partie orientale de l'Empire romain répondait au recul de la langue latine et de son enseignement face au grec, et se présente comme une solution pour enrayer ce recul. La création de la première grammaire moderne en Occident est ainsi d'abord une entreprise de relégitimation de l'apprentissage et de la maîtrise des codes d'analyse de la langue, pratique culturelle largement développée par l'Antiquité. Le présent volume est la première mise au point d'ensemble qui lui soit consacrée, réunissant les points de vue transversaux d'antiquisants, de linguistes, d'historiens et médiévistes.

This book examines the various philosophical influences contained in the ancient description of the noun. According to the traditional view, grammar adopted its philosophical categories in the second century B.C. and continued to make use of precisely the same concepts for over six hundred years, that is, until the time of Priscian (ca. 500). The standard view is questioned in this study, which investigates in detail the philosophy contained in Priscian's Institutiones grammaticae. This investigation reveals a distinctly Platonic element in Priscian's grammar, which has not been recogni
