THE WRITINGS OF HENRY AND RENÉE KAHANE

An Analytical Bibliography [1]

Angelina Pietrangeli

University of Illinois

Henry and Renée Kahane met at the University of Berlin, where both were students of Ernst Gamillscheg. Their backgrounds, outwardly dissimilar, were identical in dedication to learning and culture.

Henry Kahane, son of an Austro-Jewish family that had moved around the turn of the century from aging Vienna to bustling Berlin, grew up in an atmosphere of literature and art. His father was a writer, mostly an theatrical subjects, and the literary adviser of Max Reinhardt during the producer-director's three decades in Berlin. A love for the Mediterranean became a family tradition, strengthened by constant travel and by training in languages.

Renée Toole Kahane was born in Cephalonia. Her father's family, of Irish descent, had settled there in the nineteenth century when the Island belonged to England; her mother's family, Greek of Italian descent, had come during the long period of Venetian domination. Her mother's father and uncles had been leaders in the movement that brought the Island group back to Greece; they were men of wide interests and great learning who amassed a unique library stored in their home overlooking the Ionian Sea.

Soon after their marriage in 1931, Henry and Renée Kahane moved to Florence. They spent several years teaching, studying, traveling, and collecting, through fieldwork, a large corpus of Venetian loan-words still used in Greek dialects. During these years the concept of the linguistic unity of the Mediterranean, demonstrated above all in the nautical terminology, first took an concrete reality for them.

In 1939 they came to the United States, establishing themselves soon afterward at the University of Illinois. The rapid development of an objective approach to linguistic analysis that they observed in their new environment stimulated them and left many traces in their work, partly in the form of structural studies but more essentially as a new method applied to etymological investigation.

In the 1960s their focus of interest shifted to the investigation and recovery of the Hellenic heritage to the West, which, transmitted through Arabic and Jewish channels, was absorbed into the science and literature of the medieval world. Their etymological and onomastic approach led them to a gnostic interpretation of various symbols in the Song of Roland; to a new and Hermetic explanation of Chrétien's Perceval and Wolfram's Parzival; and to the tracing of the gnomologic, magic, and astronomic tradition underlying certain puzzling treatises of the Alfonsine circle. This was followed by a sociolinguistic study, a detailed history of the relations, East to West and West to East, between Byzantium and the Occident, told in terms of the reciprocal borrowings of words.

At present, Henry and Renée Kahane are drawing upon lifelong experience with diachronic research for a systematized presentation, Linguistic Evidence in Historical Reconstruction.

    2. A diachronic interpretation of the synchronically presented data of Map 790 mâchoire of Gilliéron's ALF. The old stratum, preserved at the periphery, is overlaid by new formations originating from similar function, formal resemblance, physiological vicinity, or borrowing.
    -- Rev.: Archiv, CLXII (1932), 316 (G. Rohlfs); RLR, LXVI (1932), 405-6 (A. Dauzat); Revue critique, XCIX (1932), 394 (O. Bloch); Archivum romanicum, XVII (1933), 340-1 (B. E. Vidos); ZFSL, LVII (1933), 120-3 (A. Zauner); Literaturbl. f. germ. u. rom. Philol., LVI (1935), 178-81 (W. Gerster). -- See also G. Bonfante, Biblos, XXVII (1952), 1-36.

  2. Wortgeschichtliche Studien: "toupin" und "bronze." Ibid., III:4 (Jena and Leipzig, 1934). Pp. 78 [R. K. under her maiden name, Renée Toole]

    3. The history and distribution of two French and Italian designations of vessels are discussed in detail, with special attention to bifurcation of popular and literary level, struggle between homonyms, patterning of suffix types, and differentiation by means of gender contrast.
    -- Rev.: Archiv, CLXVII (1935), 305 (G. Rohlfs).


2. ARTICLES

  1. "Designations of the Cheek in the Italian Dialects," Language, XVII (1941), 212-22 [H. K.]

    2. A reconstruction of the linguistic history of the 'cheek' in Italy, based on the data offered in Map 113 of the AIS. The map reflects the struggle of inherited MAXILLA against non-Latin Gr. gnáthos, Celt. *gauta, Gmc. *wangja as well as against original designations of other parts of the body. -- See G. Bonfante, Biblos, XXVII (1952), 1-36.

  2. "Romanic *baia 'bay,'" HR, XII (1944), 11-28 [H. and R. K.]

    3. OFris. *baga 'curve, bay' is postulated as the basis of Fr. baie. The French variant spreads in several directions; with the age of discovery the term becomes international. -- Rev.: LN, VIII (1947), 32 (anon.); Archiv, CLXXXVII (1950), 141 (G. Rohlfs). -- See also M. Metzeltin, VR, XXVI (1967), 258-60.

  3. "Two Romance Etymologies," Language, XX (1944), 77-84 [H. and R. K.]

    4. 1. It. pozzánghera 'mud-puddle' (var. pozzacola) < *puteacula + fango. 2. port. moinante 'pleasure-hunting' goes back, through móina (borrowed from sw france), to eleemosyna. -- rev.: archiv, clxxxvii (1950), 185 (g. rohlfs).

  4. "Three Aragonese Words," Word, II (1946), 136-41 [H. and R. K.]

    5. 1. Arag. bizquera 'ridge-pole', of Basque origin, becomes, through Fr. bischerie 'stringer', a Mediterranean term. 2. Arab. Faraj, transformed into Faragut, becomes a giant's name in medieval and Renaissance literature. This name, in turn, underlies Arag. fragut, It. ferraguto 'highwayman'. 3. Arag. ares y mares '(to talk) much' is equated, given the Catalan-Greek relations in the 14th c., with Mod.Gr. áres máres '(to talk) nonsense'. -- Rev.: RFE, XXXV (1951), 372-3 (M.' García Blanco).

  5. "Animalia Pyrricha," Glotta, XXXIX (1960), 133-45 [H. and R. K.]

    6. Sp. perro 'dog' is derived, through Massal. pĭrro-, from Gr. purrós 'tawny', recorded in Antiquity as a dog's name and pertaining to a widespread family ('id.') of rustic connotation. Purrós spread through BURRUS, BIRRUS; Gr. purrixos through BURRICUS, *BURRICCUS, BIRRICUS; Gr. purrákēs through BURRACUS. The numerous Greek and Romance (esp. dialectal Italian) congeners designate such varied animals as bull, heifer, calf, ass, ram, lamb, sheep, and horse. -- Rev.: Paideia, XVII (1962), 362 (V. Pisani); BSl, XXVIII (1967), 436 (J. Irmscher).

  6. "Germanic Derivations of Romance Words," JEGP, LX (1961), 460-76 [H. and R. K.]

    7. 1. The Western vars. of standard are derived from an OLFrk. var. of OHG stanter 'standing object', with secondary suffix change. 2. The family of Eng. groom is traced, with Normandy as center of radiation, to ON. grómr 'rascal'. The expanded form Sp. grumete 'ship boy' spreads over the Mediterranean. 3. Page 'servant boy' is a survival of the second element of Langob. marpahis 'one who bits (-paiz) a horse (marh-)'. The word spreads from Italy, where it is recorded in the Latinized 8th-c. form maripassus. 4. A widespread Romance name of a bird of prey, It. nibbio, Sp. neblí, reflects Goth. nibil- 'fog', a common first element in Germanic ornithologic compounds. 5. Gmc. groats, widely used in Western Romance, also penetrated through Gothic into Byz. Greek, as groúte. 6. Byz. Gr. toûldon '(army's) baggage train' renders, through Balkan-Latin mediation, Goth. *tuld, the designation of protective mats, or of carts protected by the mats in the typically Gothic wagenburg. *Tuld also appears in Ibero-Romance nautical parlance, as toldo 'awning'. -- Rev.: BZ, LX (1962), 361 (F. Dölger); BSl, XXVIII (1967), 436 (J. Irmscher).

  7. "Charivari," The Jewish Quarterly Review, LII (1962), 289-96 [H. and R. K.]

    8. An investigation of the transfer, usually with anti-Semitic overtones, of the word-family Hebr. hebra 'Jewish association' into the host languages of medieval Judaism. In the Balkanic languages there is a widespread havra 'noisy assembly'; in Ibero-Romance, Spanish and Portuguese have carava 'company, merriment'; in Catalan, the plural haverim is Romanicized as Cabarim and Calbarim 'Jewish brotherhood in charge of burial and wedding rituals'; in French, these same two forms are the bases of numerous subvariants designating a 'mock serenade', such as Poitou savari with Am. Engl. shivaree, and stand. Fr. charivari. -- Rev.: Paideia, XIX (1964), 404 (V. Pisani).

  8. "Comment on pizza," RPh, XVI (1962-3), 29-30 [H. and R. K.]

    9. The two main variants of the Italian (and now international) term, pizza and pitta, correspond to two Greek names for 'bran bread', pētea and pētítēs, recorded by Hesychius, Latinized as *pittja and (with haplologic shortening) *pitta. The root morpheme is pit/pet 'bran'; the words are of Doric provenience and spread as Doricisms in southern Italy; the pizza was originally, in full accord with its Spartan Background, the poor man's bread. -- Rev.: RPF, XIII (1964-5), 597-8 (M. de Paiva Boléo). -- See also M. L. Alinei, RPh, XVII (1963-4), 108-10.

  9. "Five Romance Etymologies," RLiR, XXXI (1967) [John Orr Memorial], 124-33 [H. and R. K.]

    10. 1. Ibero-Rom. de romanía 'all at once' < fr. de ramenee 'with force'. 2. sp. ralea 'prey of birds of prey' < ofr. railliee '*circling of birds of prey above their victim'. 3. international torte 'bread, cake', through latin mediation < egypt. gr. toúrta, from egypt. t-rth 'baked bread'. 4. Trimodia, the basis of various romance designations of the mill hopper, is patterned after greek models and probably originated in sitaly. 5. the family of the nautical term truss < gr. trochiá, latinized as *trochia.

    5. The influence of Byzantium on the West and of the West on Byzantium is described on the basis of loanwords. Byzantinisms in the Romance and Germanic languages are presented in two stages: the borrowings of the proto-Byzantine period and the Byzantinisms proper. The latter are analyzed in 192 concise word histories, followed by a systematic discussion of their semantic implications, linguistic changes, and historico-geographical phases. The Byzantine borrowings from the West are discussed in three phases: the Latin, which provides terms of administration, law, warfare, and everyday life; the French, which transmits its feudalistic culture to Morea and Cyprus; and the Italian, particularly Venetian, which conveys features typical of a commercial and seagoing bourgeoisie. Particular stress is laid on the survival of the loanwords in the modern dialects.

  18. "Massaliotica," in Romanica [Gerhard Rohlfs Testimonial] (Halle, 1958), pp. 231-42 [H. and R. K.]

    19. Two contributions to the study of Hellenisms entering Western Europe through Phocaean colonies in S. Gaul: 1. Medit. orsa '(rope attached to the) forepeak, etc.' goes back, via Prov. orsa 'straight piece of wood', to Gr. orthía 'straight object'. 2. Sirocco 'southeast' is traced, via Prov. exalot. to Gr. *eksalōtēs 'wind from the sea'. -- Rev.: Romania, LXXXII (1961), 266-7 (F. Lecoy).

  19. "Italo-Byzantine Etymologies V: avaria 'average'," BALM, I (1959), 211-4 [H. and R. K.]

    20. Medit. avaria (naut.) 'average, sea damage', (gener.) 'collective burden' < gr. (xumbolē) bareîa 'heavy contribution to a common enterprise'. -- rev.: paideia, xvi (1961), 316 (v. pisani); rph, xv (1961-2), 202 (r. a. hall, jr.).

  20. "Calamita 'lodestone': A Western Reflex of Hellenistic Egyptian Magic," RPh, XIII:3 (1960) [Ernest H. Wilkins Testimonial, I], 269-78 [H. and R. K.]

    21. The early Western designation of the 'lodestone', calamita, is derived, through an intermediate Arabic stage, from Hellenistic Gr. keramítēs. A semantic distinction between keramítēs and its supposed synonym, mágnēs, is attempted by means of the Chinese dodecaoros. -- Rev.: Paideia, XV (1960), 316-7 (V. Pisani).

  21. "Die Magariten," ZRP, LXXVI (1960), 185-204 [H. and R. K.]

    22. The medieval anthroponym Magariz, best known through M. de Sibilie (Roland), is traced, through Greek papyri from Islamic Egypt, to Arab. Muhādžir 'early follower of Mohammed', via its Greek form magarítēs. Since the 'adherents of the New Faith' were often 'apostates' from Christianity, a depreciative connotation attached to the term; this explains the puzzling development of magarízō 'to soil'. -- Rev.: Bl, LIV (1961), 179 (F. Dölger); BSZ, XXIII (1962), 359 (J. Irmscher); Romania, LXXXIII (1962), 542-3 (F. Lecoy).

  22. "The Toponym gradus," Names, VIII (1960), 240-3 [H. and R. K.]

    23. A Mediterranean toponym meaning (a) 'harbor' (Adriatic, Tyrrhenian near Pisa, Catalonia) and (b) 'channel' (Catalan-Provençal coast, particularly around the villes mortes) reflects GRADUS 'landing stairs' similarly distributed and endowed with the necessary semantic potentialities inherent in the localities so designated. -- Rev.: Paideia, XVII (1962), 412 (V. Pisani); BALM, V-VI (1963-4), 299 (M. Cortelazzo).

  23. "Western Reflexes of Byzantine Candelabra," in Omagiu lui Al. Graur (Bucharest, 1960), pp. 549-52 [H. and R. K.]

    24. Two early medieval technological terms, demonstrating anew the strong participation of the Mediterranean East in the genesis of a new culture in the Mediterranean West: 1. Gr. kērostátēs underlies CEROSTATUM and its numerous vars., some due to blendings. 2. The 'candlestick' is designated by three compounds sharing the first morpheme and containing phonetically similar second elements: kērophóron (ker- 'wax' + phor- 'carry') underlies CERIFORUM and congeners; *kērópharos (ker- 'wax' + pháros 'light'), CEROFARIUM; kēróphanos (ker -'wax' + phanós 'torch'), CEROPHANUS.

  24. "Romano-Aegyptiaca," RPh, XIV (1960-1), 287-94 LH. and R. K.]

    25. Two further elements of medieval Western culture traced to Hellenistic and early Byzantine Egypt: 1. Peridot 'chrysolite, olivine' is a metathetic var. of the Greek stonename paidér6#333;ta (acc.) linking paid 'boy' to erōt 'love'. 2. The vessel vernigal, with numerous vars., goes back, through Hellenistic bernikárion, to an Egypt. top. Berenike 'place with nitrum deposits'. The semantic filiation is from 'nitrum' to 'glass', with a secondary development of 'glass' to (a) 'receptacle' and (b) 'amber'. Ger. bernstein 'amber' is akin to this family. -- Rev.: BZ, LV (1952), 361 (F. Dölger); ZRP, LXXX (1965), 610 (H. Stimm); BSl, XXVIII (1967), 436 (J. Irmscher).

  25. "Notes on the Linguistic History of sclavus," in Studi in onore di Ettore LoGatto e Giovanni Maver (Florence, 1962), pp. 345-60 [H. and R. K.]

    Analyses of the areal pattern of the early records and of the corresponding language level. The evidence points to the margins of the Byzantine Empire (the Balkanic area?) as the region of the colloquial shift 'Slav' > 'slave'. A discussion follows on (a) the two main vars., sklavon- and shorter sklav-, and (b) certain semantic shades in the Roland.

  26. "Contributions by Byzantinologists to Romance Etymology," RLiR, XXVI (1962), 126-39 [H. and R. K.]

    27. A few scattered and neglected derivations of Western terms by Byzantinologists are presented with elaborations. 1. Carnival is a calque of Gr. apōkreōs (Hatzes). 2. Macaroni is a Western reflex of a Greek compound linking makários 'blessed' to aiōnios 'eternal', used at funeral services and banquets (Koukoules). 3. Canon 'ecclesiastical dignitary' echoes Gr. kanōn 'psalmody' (Pöschl); hence CANONICUS, orig. 'professional church singer'. 4. Lazarus 'leper' issues from the Lazarus of Bethany resurrected by Christ (Koukoules); from early Christianity lepers were viewed and treated as living dead. 5. Widespread learned mediev. parabolanus 'prattler' recalls the 5th-c. Egyptian religious brotherhood of the parabalani, lit. 'helpers in the baths'; they were tough orderlies (Schubart). Secondary blendings produced new vars. in form and in meaning. 6. Labarum 'medieval standard symbolizing Christianity' descends from Gr. láboron, which in turn renders LAUREUM (VEXILLUM), lit. 'laureled standard' (Grégoire). Its synonym oriflamme similarly perpetuates LAUREA FLAMMULA (Kahane). 7. Western travail renders TREPALIUM, a calque of Gr. tripassalon 'tool of torture' (Kahane). -- Rev.: BZ, LVII (1964), 483 (H.-G. Beck).

  27. "Egyptian Papyri as a Tool in Romance Etymology," RPh, XVII:2 (1963) [María Rosa Lida de Malkiel Memorial, II], 310-9 [H. and R. K. with Angelina Pietrangeli]

    28. The history of numerous widespread terms can be illuminated by their early records in Egyptian papyri. These afford excellent material particularly for the analysis of Greek words that reached the West via Arabic, and for Arabic words transmitted via Byzantine Greek. The role of the papyri is shown by examples such as admiral, bagnio, bastacium 'carrier', Caesareum, calamine, can 'vessel', charta, situla 'container'. -- Rev.: Paideia, XIX (1964), 398 (V. Pisani); RPF, XIII (1964-5), 545 (M. de Paiva Boléo); Thesaurus: Boletîn del Instituto Caro y Cuervo, XX (1965), 177 (J. J. Montes).

  28. "Christian and Un-Christian Etymologies," HTR, LVII (1964), 23-38 [H. and R. K.]

    29. 1. The nasal in abism- 'abyss' is ascribed to the influence of Hellenistic synonyms of this typically gnostic concept. 2. Longinus, a name in which the Roman soldier of John 19:34 merges with the centurion of the synoptic Gospels, is a Latinization of Gr. logxítēs 'spearman', influenced by the cognomen Longinus. 3. Sp. marrano 'crypto-Jew' is reassigned to Aram. maran atha. This was (witness a 12th-c. Byzantine passage by Tzetzes) a curse used by Jews against Jewish apostates from orthodoxy. 4. Much discussed PAGANUS is interpreted as a reference to a 'rural celebrant of non-Christian religious festivities (such as the PAGANALIA)'. Survival of the term in Balkan Latin. 5. Galimatias, the widespread Western designation of nonsense and gibberish, renders the Greek expression katà Matthaîon 'according to Matthew', to mock droning recitals of the protracted genealogy of Christ in chap. I of the Gospel of St. Matthew.

  29. "Carestia," in French and Provencal Lexicography [Alexander Herman Schutz Testimonial] (Columbus, Ohio, 1964), pp. 118-22 [H. and R. K.]

    30. Romance carestia 'scarcity of food, want, high cost of living' is derived from Gr. charist(e)ía 'beneficium': the mismanagement of the Greek monasteries which had been given as fiefs to the lay aristocracy (in the charisticary system) may have led to the derogatory shade of meaning brought back by the Crusaders.

  30. "Four Graeco-Romance Etymologies," RPh, XIX:2 (1965) [Howard Rollin Patch Memorial], 261-7 [H. and R. K.]

    31. 1. The toponym napa, a pre-Indo-European Mediterranean lexeme. 2. Niche: the starting point is Gr. ónyx 'nail, shellfish', Latinized as onica 'shell', with a dimin. *onicula, the basis of It. nicchia. 3. It. pileggiolpoleggio 'run of a ship' is related to Gr. ploïzo 'sail on the sea'. 4. Frigate, the ship, is explained as falcata 'ship provided with a falca or washboard'; this last term is of Greek origin.

  31. "Byzantinoromanica," in Polychronion [Franz Dölger Testimonial] (Heidelberg, 1966), pp. 304-17 [H. and R. K.]

    32. Proto-Byzantine and Byzantine loanwords in the Romance languages: 1. Rom. catarzo 'raw silk' < akatártion 'the unprocessed'. 2. Prov-Catal. galga 'clay used in lieu of soap' < gallikós 'soap'. 3. osp. corochón/corachón 'saint-john's-wort' < koridion. 4. ibero-rom. melindre 'honey fritter' < melitērón. 5. palandra and var. 'transportship' < perataria 'ferry'. 6. rom. *flabiolum 'flute' < plagiaulos - flabrum. 7. rom. *prodesium 'bowfast' < prōrēsion. 8. neit. rassa 'homespun' < ráson, plur. rása. 9. rom. calcese 'top (upper part of the mast)' < chalkēsion.

    33. Brief survey of the main problems of Western Byzantinisms.

  33. "Graeco-Romance Etymologies (II)," RPh, XXI:4 (1968) [Emanuel S. Georges Memorial], 502-10 [H. and R. K.]

    34. 1. Hisp-Rom. cimorra 'glanders' < gr. *chymórroia 'discharge of putrid humors', latinized as *chimorria. 2. rom. *katax-'weaver's paste' < gr. *katax-, compressed var. of katástaxis 'dripping'. 3. sp. sardo 'speckled' < gr. psarós. 4. galoche < gr. *kalóchtion, latinized as *caloctium. 5. ven. cora 'coastal region' < byz. chōra. 6. oit. staría 'coast' < byz. steréa '(dry) land'. 7. bronze < byz. *bróntion 'thundering, bronze', latinized as *brondium. 8. ofr. boguerastre/hypocras 'spiced wine' < late gr. or byz. hypokerast(ik)ón 'somewhat mixed', latinized as *(hy)pocerast(ic)um. 9. sp. ferreruelo 'cloak' < (egyptian) gr. peribólaion 'covering', via mozarabic fir(i)wil.

  34. "Risk," in Verba et Vocabula [Ernst Gamillscheg Testimonial] (Munich, 1968), pp. 275-83 [H. and R. K.]

    35. Western risicum with its short var. riscum is derived, via a Byzantine intermediate stage rouzikón/rizikón, from Pers.-Arab. rogik/Arab. rizq, a technical expression of the early military administration of Islam in Egypt, denoting a system in which the soldier was expected to procure his own maintenance from the area where he was stationed. The term spreads from Byzantium in the period of Francocracy, partly within the terminology of sea law, partly within that of the mercenary system.
    -- Rev.: ZFSL, LXXIX (1969), 75-6 (E. Gamillscheg). -- See also B. Z. Kedar, StMed, X (1969), 255-9.

  35. "Romeo, the Pilgrim," BALM, X-XII (1968-70) [Mirko Deanovic Testimonial], 429-31 [H. and R. K.]

    36. Byz. rōmaîos 'the Roman' turned into 'the pilgrim' with the events of the iconoclastic movement of the 8th-9th c., when Greeks fled to Rome; this assumption is supported by a legend centered on the icon of María hē Rōmaía.

  36. "Graeco-Romance Etymologies, III," to appear in Rafael Lapesa Testimonial (Madrid) [H. and R. K.]

    37. 1. Med.Lat. *codicus 'the Justinian code' < byz. kōdikos. 2. med.lat. petroleum < byz. petrélaion. 3. med.lat. diasprum 'damasklike fabric' < byz. diaspron. 4. late lat. malandria 'pustules', possibly < late gr. melándrya 'fruit of the sorbus' 5. med.lat. *melanus 'abscess' < byz. melanós. 6. late lat. *cotrophium 'receptacle' < late gr. *kotróphion.

  37. "Cultural Criteria for Western Borrowings from Byzantine Greek," to appear in Antonio Tovar Testimonial (Madrid) [H. and R. K. with Angelina Pietrangeli]

    38. Twenty-four Western Byzantinisms are analyzed in order to demonstrate that semantic data may in themselves (quite apart from linguistic criteria) indicate the provenience of a term.

  38. "Greek in Southern Italy, II: Etymological Notes," to appear in Oronzo Parlangèli Memorial (Bari) [H. and R. K.]

    39. The etymological discussion in Item 70, a review of Rohlfs's Lexicon Graecanicum, is continued here in fourteen new suggestions.

  1. The Krater and the Grail: Hermetic Sources of the Parzival. ISLL, LVI (Urbang, Ill., 1965). Pp. xi, 218; 64 plates [H. and R. K. with Angelina Pietrangeli]

    2. The medieval myths of the Grail and Parzival are derived here from the Hermetica, a set of treatises that describes the doctrines and procedures of a secret religious society in Hellenistic Egypt. A close comparison between the Hermetica and Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, based on key words, the etymologies of names, and textual parallelisms, yields the prototypes of such famous literary figures and topoi as the Grail and the Grail procession, Parzival, King Amfortas, Lohengrin, Trevrizent, and Titurel. The Parzival is analyzed as belonging primarily to the genre of conversion literature. The transmission of the Greek text is traced through the intermediate stages of Syriac and Arabic to Wolfram's informant, the mysterious Kyot, here identified as a Spaniard, possibly a converted Jew, who mediated the Arabic material to Wolfram in French. -- Rev.: RF, LXXVIII (1966), 411-4 (H.

  2. "Magic and Gnosticism in the Chanson de Roland," RPh, XII:3 (1959) [Charles H. Livingston Testimonial], 216-31 (H. and R. K.]

    3. Etymological methods applied to various Roland puzzles. 1. The heroes' weapons: Roland's Durendart, traced to Ksiphos Dardánou 'Sword of Dardanos'; Turpin's Almuce, derived from al-Musa '(Sword of) Moses': Charlemagne's Joyeuse, identified as Methuselah's Sword. 2. The pagans: Siglorel, interpreted as SIGILLARIUS 'idolmaker', and Chernuble from chiere nuble 'somber face'. 3. Montjoie: Charlemagne's standard equated with the mountain in Galilee (Matt. 28:16) named in a 2nd-c. gnostic treatise Mountain of Joy -- probably identical with the mountain of Transfiguration, i.e. Mount Tabor, associated in biblical lore with joy (Psalms 89:12). 4. The sequence aoi: This frequent marginal annotation in the Oxford MS, also found in gnostic writings, echoes either alphabetic mysticism referring to Christ's victory or the alpha-and-omega formula, with like semantic implication, rendered originally by capital A plus lower-case omega: Aw, later misread by Western scribes as Aoi. 5. Oliver and Alda: Oliver's name and character echo a demonologic Prototype, álfr, the Nordic form of elf. His sister Alda's name recalls Hilda, a Germanic divinity associated with love, tears, and death. The magic and gnostic elements, bequeathed by Antiquity, were transmitted through Sicilian or Spanish channels. -- Rev.: SFr, III (1959), 462 (G. Favati). -- See also F. and C.

  3. "Wolframs Gral und Wolframs Kyot," ZDA, LXXXIX (1959), 191-213 [H. and R. K.]

    4. 1. Grail is derived from crater in three different ways: the vernacular Prov.-Catal. designation of a container stems from CRATER 'vessel', with suffix change; two literary uses show outward influence of the vernacular variant but pertain each to a different learned tradition. Chrétien's grail is derived from Byz. eccles. kratēr 'chalice of the Last Supper'; Wolfram's gral reflects the constellation Crater, whose vessel symbolized 'insight' in Platonic and Hermetic philosophy, transmitted to the West via Arabicized Egypt. 2. The mysterious Kyot of Dolet, who transmitted to Wolfram the Hellenistic-Arabic Grail tradition, is identified with William of Tudela, through comparison of the information culled from Parzival with that presented in William's authenticated Chanson de la croisade albigeoise. The contacts between the two men must go back to the very late 12th century. -- Rev.: BZ, LII (1959), 429 (F. Dölger); J.

  5. "Picatrix and the Talismans," RPh, XIX (1965-6), . 574-93 [H. and R. K. with Angelina Pietrangeli]

    6. The Arabic Goal of the Sage is the standard medieval work on astrological magic. It is known in its Western versions as Picatrix, which is explained here as a corruption (via Arab. Buqratis) of Harpokratíōn, the name of a 4th-c. Greek compiler of a Hermetic work on talismans. A close comparison of the Goal with the Alfonsine Lapidario indicates that both works must have used the same source. -- Rev.: Thesaurus: Boletín del Instituto Caro y Cuervo, XXI (1966), 667 (J. J. Montes Giraldo).

    7. Two main sources are suggested. The first is the 11th book of Apuleius' Metamorphoses, the so-called Isis Book, which in the Anteludia prefigures Chrétien's Fisher King and his entourage; in the Isis procession, Chrétien's Grail procession; in the conversion scenes, Chrétien's episode at the hermitage. The second source is the Corpus hermeticum, which in the Latin Asclepius treatise prefigures Chrétien's hermit scene in soteriological aim and esoteric atmosphere (including the topos of the Waste Lands); and in the Krater treatise explains the functions of the Grail. -- Rev.: BBSIA, XXI (1969), 25 (W. Kellermann and G. Schramm); Paideia, XXIV (1969), 104 (V. Pisani); RF, LXXXII (1970), 114 (W.-D. Stempel); ZRP, LXXXVI (1970), 601 (H. H. Christmann); RLiR, XXXIII (1969), 183 (L.-F.

  7. "Hermetism in the Alfonsine Tradition," in Mélanges Rita Lejeune (Gembloux [Belgium], 1969), I, 443-57 [H. and R. K. with Angelina Pietrangeli]

    8. Three representative works of early Spanish prose, products of the Alfonsine group in the 13th c., the Bocados de oro, the Picatrix, and the Libro de las estrellas fixas, contain numerous passages reflecting Hermetic doctrine. The works had gone through an Arabic stage and had then been mediated to Spanish through Jewish translators. -- Rev.: MA, LXXVI (1970), 525-6 (J. Joset); BBSIA, XXIII (1971), 55 (O. Jodogne and P.

    2. The colloquial language of modern Greece according to the linguistic and pedagogical principles underlying the LSA's Spoken Language Series. The material is based on work with informants.

  2. Descriptive Studies in Spanish Grammar (eds.). ISLL, XXXVIII (Urbana, I11., 1954). Pp. xiii, 241 [H. K. with Angelina Pietrangeli]

    3. 1. Spencer L. Murphy, Jr., A Description of Noun Suffixes in Colloquial Spanish (1-48). A suffix variant is a bound form between the base and the noun marker; one demonstrates its presence by isolating the base through comparison with a cognate; the suffix variant contains a final element structurally invariable, the suffix, preceded or not by a variable element, the infix. 2. Elbert W. Ringo, The Position of the Noun Modifier in Colloquial Spanish (49-72). The position of the Spanish noun modifier depends on, or is correlated with, the modifier's form, class, semantic relation to the head, and juncture. 3. Ralph D. McWilliams, The Adverb in Colloquial Spanish (73-137). A description of its form patterns ushers in a discussion of the determinants of its position: form, function, meaning, number of elements, and intonation. 4. Harriett S. Hutter, The Development of the Function Word System from Vulgar Latin to Modern Spanish (138-75). Three independent synchronic descriptions of function word systems, corresponding to three stages (Hispanic Vulgar Latin, Old and Modern Spanish), precede a diachronic interpretation of these stages; the increase of function words correlates with the decrease in inflection. 5. Evelyn E. Uhrhan, Linguistic Analysis of Góngora's Baroque Style (177-241). An experimental nonsemantic description of the typical Baroque features: transposition, separation, coupling, asymmetry, modification, and substitution.

    4. The development is analyzed in two stages. In the second, which corresponds in structure to adult language, contrast in form correlates with contrast in meaning. The first shows no such correlation. In the second stage of these, e.g. the semantic contrast past : nonpast matches a form contrast did : do; in the first, past and nonpast are indiscriminately expressed by do. The same analysis is applied to English, German, and French material; most data stem from 2-3-year-old children. An introductory section deals with nominal patterns. The authors demonstrate that most categorical contrasts develop by the third year. -- Rev.: RLiR, XX (1958), 362 (G. Straka); Lingua, IX (1960), 204-8 (W.

    17. The operational steps leading from lexeme to etymon are described as the systematic transformation of surface into underlying structure. Etymological transformation, already familiar to the Hellenistic grammarians, is embedded in a long tradition of analytical procedure relating the level of the surface to the level of deep structure: it dominates Biblical and Talmudic exegesis, the so-called levels of meaning of medieval literature, and the technique of the Kabbalah.

Mölk); J. Bumke, Die Wolfram von Eschenbach Forschung seit 1945 (Munich, 1970), pp. 286-7. MRom, XX (1970), 9 (J.-M. D'Heur).

  6. "Wolfram's gekriuzte ritter (Parz. 72, 13) -- a Provençalism?" RPh, XXIV:1 (1970) [Ramón Menéndez Pidal Memorial, II], 84-6 [H. and R. K.]

    7. Wolfram's phrase gekriuzte ritter is explained as cavalier croisit 'crushed knight', a term typical of Pyrenean Romance and recurring, in the form of a nominal derivative, as cruzitió 'state of being crushed'. The noun appears in the Chanson de la croisade aibigeoise, written by Guilhem de Tudela, who has been identified (see Items 72 and 75) with Kyot, Wolfram's mysterious informant, a native speaker of Pyrenean Romance. -- Rev.: BBSIA, XXIII (1971), 35 (P. K. Ford).
