W. M. Lindsay
The wholesome severity of publishers' regulations restricted the small Teubner edition Festus almost to actual text archetype MSS. and his epitomator Paulus. flimsy material be picked up from mediaeval glossaries was excluded this solid structure reserved for ampler space freer air a second volume, volume which should attempt reconstruction Paulus' excerpts, like an antiquarian's Forum ruins that now remain. In Goetz' Corpus Glossariorum Latinorum we have apographs chief MS. each important glossary, in Thesaurus Glossarum Emendatarum all glosses edited arranged dictionary form; but much spade-work has done before these can used by editor Festus. Some been already pupil Goetz Jena dissertation (A. Dammann de Festo pseudo-Philoxeni auctore , 1894), who shows so-called Philoxenus Glossary compiled part Festus, collects emends its glosses. Yet even piece work is not complete. For our (we may say) unique Philox., mere ninth-century (of Laon ?), imperfec record large bilingual collection left so many traces itself British Isles those parts Continent received English or Irish culture. Ab Absens Glossary, example, printed ( C.G.L. IV. pp. 404–427) North Frankish Charlemagne's time, (in A-section) number are recorded Philox. accordingly ignored Dammann.
