Oxford, MS Bodl. 292: A New Witness for Konrad von Mure’s Novus Graecismus

Abstract

This article identifies a new witness for part of Konrad von Mure’s thirteenth-century pedagogical treatise, Novus Graecismus, in Oxford, MS Bodl. 292. Further evidence is also adduced for the identification of the scribe of the relevant part of this manuscript, known as ›V.f.I.‹, as someone from the German-speaking world. A series of textual and interpretative issues from Konrad’s Novus Graecismus are then discussed, focussing on lines 9.713, 9.714, 9.721, 9.723– 7 24, 9.741, 9.776, 9.796 – 797, 9.799 – 800, 9.812 – 814, 9.843 – 844, 9.852 – 853, 9.877 – 879, 9.886 – 887, 9.889, 9.917, 9.924– 9 25, 9.927, 9.973– 975, 9.990 – 992, 9.1014, 9.1020 – 1022; further remarks are made on 8.1111 – 1112, 9.768, 9.772, and 9.824.
