Glosses on Priscian (St. Gall).

P. 42a

… in numeris quoque potest ‘prior' esse comparatiuus … et ‘primus’ super­latiuus, cum ad multos com­ponitur1… ut ‘prior2 Turnus quam Aeneas mouit bellum’…

Primus3 se Danaum…Androgeus[1] offert nobis,

et, quod omnibus est rationa­bilius4, in ‘or’ desinens commune in ‘us’ facit neutrum, quod in nullis aliis nisi in compa­ratiuis inuenitur.

Cum igitur comparatiua proprie ad positiuum fieri soleant5, inuenitur tamen saepe compa­ratiuus pro positiuo per se positus[2]… Est quando pro positiuo possitus6 minus eo[3] signi­ficat et nulli compa­ratur, ut:

Tristior atque oculos lacrimis sufussa nitentes,

‘tristior7’ enim hic ‘ex parte8’ signi­ficat ‘tristis9.’

P. 42b

Est quando ad contraria comparatur1… Est quando super­latiuo compa­ratiuus compa­ratur2… Est quando compa­ratiuus ad compa­ratiuum compa­ratur3… Cicero Philipi­carum II: ‘quis inter­pretare potest, impuden­tiorne quis in senatu, an improbior4, qui in Dola­bellam[4]…’

‘Tam’ et ‘quam’ aduerbia tum comparatiuo uel superlatiuo adici­untur, cum duo uel plures compa­ratiui uel super­latiui diuersae signifi­cationis5 positi inter se aequantur… …‘non tam6 in bellis… quam in promisis et fide firmiorem7’… …‘minus stultus’ pro pruden­tior8.’ Terentius in Eunocho:

hoc nemo fuit
Minus ineptus,
