Abstract:

While quill and ink were the writing implements of choice in the Anglo-Saxon
scriptorium, other colouring and non-colouring writing implements were in
active use, too. The stylus, among them, was used on an everyday basis both
for taking notes in wax tablets and for several vital steps in the creation of
manuscripts. Occasionally, the stylus or perhaps even small knives were used
for writing short notes that were scratched in the parchment surface without
ink. One particular type of such notes encountered in manuscripts are
dry-point glosses, i.e. short explanatory remarks that provide a translation
or a clue for a lexical or syntactic difficulty of the Latin text. The present
study provides a comprehensive overview of the known corpus of dry-point
glosses in Old English by cataloguing the 34 manuscripts that are currently
known to contain such glosses. A first general descriptive analysis of the
corpus of Old English dry-point glosses is provided and their difficult visual
appearance is discussed with respect to the theoretical and practical
implications for their future study.
