Giovanbattista Galdi
The text of the Itinerarium Antonini Placentini, anonymous account a travel to Holy Land dated ca. 570 AD, is transmitted by two main families manuscripts: recensio prior (a), represented Sangallensis 133 (G), 8th-9th cent., and Rhenaugiensis (R), 9th cent. altera (13), preserved in several manuscripts. There broad consensus among scholars that Latin (13) largely results from later normalization Carolingian times. It disputed, instead, whether original better G, which often 'deviates' standard Latin, or R, much closer classical canons. In our paper, we will concentrate on noun morphology treatment final -m. Through presentation statistical data discussion selected examples, shall show that, although G occasionally modifies its archetype, morphological errors occurring it may be put down author himself. Conversely, R displays clear tendency correct text. Additionally, claim frequent use, endings -a -as accusative singular nominative plural, respectively, feminine names are likely reflect gradual extension casus unicus, also found Romance.
